Pace car design contest launched for Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs

Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs and The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb are inviting contest entries for the creation of a design that will cover – or wrap – a BMW i8 Coupe, which will serve as the Parade of Champions pace car at the conclusion of the 96th “Race to the Clouds” on June 24.

The design will be unveiled June 22 at the race’s fan festival in downtown Colorado Springs. Afterward, the car will be displayed at the Winslow BMW showroom on North Nevada Avenue and at special events.

The design contest runs until May 15; it includes $10,000 in prizes, along with a driving experience at the BMW Performance Center West in Thermal, Calif.
