James Clay/BimmerWorld Bergsteiger BMW E36 M3 2023 Pikes Peak Record Breaking Qualifying Run

James and the Bergsteiger take on qualifying day for the Open Class for the 101st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Going up against the Ford factory-backed effort with Romain Dumas (the fastest man to ever climb Pikes) the team knew that qualifying will be extremely important to place us as close as possible to them come race day.

In the end James managed to beat the previously set qualifying record for the Open Class set by Rhys Millen last year and throw down a time good enough to not only place 2nd in class, but 3rd OVERALL!
