The 2023 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is drawing ever closer, and though Ken Block sadly isn't here to see it, his legacy endures. His wife Lucy, an accomplished rally driver in the American Rally Association (ARA), is now confirmed for this year's event. She will be driving a Sierra Echo EV in the Unlimited category, carrying the number 430 on the side.
Taking to Instagram, Block shared the news along with photos of the car she'll be piloting. The Echo is built by Sierra Cars, packing a single electric motor from Hypercraft and battery packs totaling 55.8-kWh of electricity. It generates 300 horsepower for the single-seat tube-frame race car, giving it a top speed of 120 mph. This will be Lucy's first time racing up the hill.
