Romain Dumas and Ford Racing took the overall victory at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E, completing the 12.42-mile course in 8 minutes and 18.202 seconds. This is Dumas' sixth Pikes Peak Hill Climb win and his second with Ford Racing, following their 2024 win in the Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck.
Dumas' time in the Ford production Mach-E is still short of the record he set in the all-electric Volkswagen ID.R in 2018, which was 7 minutes and 57.148 seconds. However, no sub-eight-minute run has been recorded on the full course since then.
Robin Shute's "SendyCar" finished second overall, with a time of 8 minutes and 29.497 seconds. Shute's team will work on reducing the weight of the car for future runs.
