Lia Block has announced she will race at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hillclimb in honour of her father Ken, who sadly passed away earlier this year in a snowmobile accident.

And the 16-year old racer will do it in a car Ken had hoped to use himself in the famous ‘race to the clouds’ – the 1,400bhp ‘Hoonipigasus’.

Announcing the ‘tribute’ run via social media, Block said: “I am stoked to be going up the mountain in this crazy build (even though it’s not a timed run), and getting my feet wet on the legendary mountain,” she said.

Built to fulfil Ken’s long-held ambition to take overall victory at Pikes Peak – having first driven there in 2005 – and as a tribute to the legendary 'Pink Pig' 917/20, the Hoonipigasus is a Porsche 911 modified beyond all recognition. Taking a 1966 912 as its base, Ken – in collaboration with Hoonigan and BBi Autosport – spent ten years building up the mid-engined, spaceframe racer to be a Pikes-worthy prototype.

There’s a 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine on board, treated to much modification enabling that outlandish power figure, AWD, fancy suspension and seemingly mile-long diffusers front and back delivering heavy downforce.

Which in turn will help Lia - fast becoming an accomplished rally driver - deliver one of her father’s long held ambitions to ‘compete for an overall win’ at Pikes Peak. Teasing a potential record attempt, Lia added: “Perhaps just warming up for a future run?”
