Always wondered what a van would look like competing at Pikes Peak? Wonder no more.

Start at the bottom of the mountain, drive up to the top as quickly as you can. Sounds simple enough, right? Oh, and did we mention the finish line is over 12 miles up the mountain at over 14,000 feet in elevation, and you’ll have to navigate some 150 turns to get there?

Be creative, live a fun life and don't be a shiny happy person.
That looks incredible.
In reply to kevinatfms :
Agreed. I'll take 2.
Made me look up the previous Supervans. I was aware of them, but didn't know much about them. The first one was a GT40 wearing a van as a hat! Second was a Group C racer underneath.
Here's Supervan 4 at another well-known hillclimb.
Hell yeah Supervan
And props to Rupert for getting that photo to us.

That would be a cool subcategory at the Challenge.

We’ve already had the Batvan.
(Seriously, if you bring it, we’ll welcome it.)
