The altitude at Pikes Peak is no joke. At over 14,000ft, not only the car, but also the driver is deprived of oxygen, which could be dangerous on the twisty bends of the Colorado Mountains. Even a split second moment can decide the fate of the race, the car, and the driver. To prevent altitude sickness and reduced decision making abilities, pikes peak drivers are allowed to breathe pressurized oxygen mounted inside the cockpit. Is there any other motorsport events that allow this? mfg.motorsports driver smontgomery71 explains the setup in his car.
