Aussie returning to 2025 Pikes Peak
Brett Dickie and the Project Import team will be retuning for the 103rd “Race to the Clouds” for another crack at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb on June 22.
Taking part in the Unlimited class again, where last year Dickie managed to steer his 2 L turbocharged 2001 Honda S2000 to 16th outright with a time of 10mins and 27sec, becoming the fastest Aussie ever at the legendary event.
This year will be Dickie’s fourth crack at Pikers Peak, climbing the 20km to the snowy summit without any barriers over 156 turns, rising to a height of 4314.5 metres.

Prior to that, Dickie also announced that he’ll be contesting April’s Super Lap Battle at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas in his Honda as he entered a sixth year with the Californian based team, but news of his acceptance for another crack at the mountain was welcome news and reward for effort.
“Excited to finally confirm that we are heading back to the mountain,” Dickie said on his socials.
“This morning I woke to the news we have been accepted for the 103rd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
“This has been a massive effort from all out sponsors involved, and I can’t thank the team at Project Import enough, they work seven days a week at the shop just to keep the program alive.
“…and thank you to my amazing family, this program takes a massive amount of hours to pull together every year and they have supported me through every minute of it.
“Now let’s get that sub ten and become the fastest Aussie!”
Before Dickie heads off to the States, he’s also competing in the Victorian State Championship round of the Sports Sedans next weekend in another Honda that took out the 2024 Victorian Sports Sedan 2-4 L championship.
