02Overview
What Pikes Peak International Raceway is like to drive.
The full circuit layout at Pikes Peak International Raceway is 1.51 miles with 14 corners worth setting up for and about 19 ft of elevation change. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 10 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 26% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 1198 ft.
10 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 2 are fast (over 75 mph). There are hairpins where exit speed matters more than entry. The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for Pikes Peak International Raceway later.

The speed trace is a model, not a real lap: a generic track-day car (about 1.1 g of cornering grip, 1 g braking, 150 W/kg) driven on the computed line through an assumed 12 m wide track. Use it to see where the braking zones and flat-out sections are, not to predict your speeds. Elevation: USGS 3DEP 1/3 arc-second (NED 10 m) via OpenTopoData, sampled every 25 m along the mapped centerline.
04Corner by corner
The corners at Pikes Peak International Raceway.
TRACK’s own corner numbering (C1, C2…), found from the curvature of the mapped centerline. It isn’t the official turn numbering. Each diagram shows the computed line: the minimum-curvature path through an assumed 12 m wide track. It’s a geometric starting point. Your instructor’s line comes first.

Fast left-hander
↰ LeftfastkinkTRACK numbering
A fast left-hand kink that turns about 21°, tightening to a radius of roughly 30 m (98 ft). The model car brakes for about 30 m (98 ft), from 118 to 114 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes an early apex, about 5 m before the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

06Time it with TRACK
Drive Pikes Peak International Raceway. TRACK knows where you are.
No setup and no transponder. Start a session in the paddock and TRACK recognises Pikes Peak International Raceway and the layout from your GPS trace, then times every lap and sector with a live delta to your best.
- 1DetectTRACK matches your first few hundred metres against every mapped layout at Pikes Peak International Raceway, including shared pavement between configurations.
- 2Confirm the lineThe start/finish line here is estimated. When you’re stopped, TRACK shows it on the map: accept it or tap to move it. You’re never asked while driving.
- 3Laps, timed retroactivelyLaps you drove before confirming are timed from the recorded trace, so you don’t lose your first session.
- 4Go furtherSync a GoPro for video with telemetry and let TRACK Engineer point out where the time is. External 10–25 Hz GPS receivers for tighter sectors are awaiting hardware validation.

FAQ
Pikes Peak International Raceway, answered.
How long is Pikes Peak International Raceway?
OpenStreetMap maps 6 closed loops at Pikes Peak International Raceway, from 1.02 mi to 1.51 mi (2.43 km). These are mapped centerline lengths; the venue’s published figures can differ slightly.
How much elevation change is there at Pikes Peak International Raceway?
About 19 ft (6 m) between the lowest and highest points of the full circuit layout, from USGS 3DEP elevation data sampled every 25 m. The steepest stretch is around 2%.
Which direction does Pikes Peak International Raceway run?
OpenStreetMap doesn’t record a direction for the main layout at Pikes Peak International Raceway. Venues sometimes run both ways. TRACK takes the direction from your first laps.
Can I time laps at Pikes Peak International Raceway with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Pikes Peak International Raceway and the layout you’re driving from GPS, then times laps and sectors. A phone’s GPS is good for lap times; an external 10–25 Hz receiver tightens sector splits.
Where is the start/finish line at Pikes Peak International Raceway?
TRACK estimates the line from the mapped geometry (usually beside the pit lane, or on the longest straight). It isn’t verified on site, so the app asks you to confirm or move it before timing your first session here.
How do I find track days at Pikes Peak International Raceway?
Clubs and organizers list HPDE, track days and club races on MotorsportReg. The venue’s own calendar lists its events too. TRACK doesn’t list events itself.
Where can I stay near Pikes Peak International Raceway?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Pikes Peak International Raceway from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
