Yokohama Tire driver Laura Hayes is the subject of a new film from Apple TV+ currently streaming on Apple Vision Pro. Titled “Adventure: Hill Climb,” the Apple immersive film revolves around Hayes attempting to break her own record she set during the 2024 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Yokohama’s ADVAN A052 tires, according to Yokohama officials in a press release.
Hayes, who won the Pikes Peak GT4 Trophy by Yokohama division in a Toyota GR Supra GT4, became the fastest female up the mountain in a car with a record-breaking time of 10:20.487. Yokohama is the exclusive tire supplier of the Pikes Peak GT4 Trophy by Yokohama division, noted the release.
Hayes Climbs for a New Pikes Peak Record
In “Hill Climb,” Hayes takes on Pikes Peak again (this time on ADVAN A005 slick tires), trying for a sub-10-minute time.
“I’m proud to have had Yokohama by my side in my past couple of Pikes Peak attempts,” Hayes said. “We won the GT4 division last June on the ADVAN A052s. You’re only as fast as the tires beneath you, so when we were challenged to push the 10-minute barrier, we knew exactly what tire to use. The A005s delivered out of the gate to the finish line, making the best of a day where road conditions were particularly challenging.”
Patricia Wall, Yokohama’s motorsports senior manager, added, “Yokohama is incredibly honored to have supported Laura Hayes in her record-breaking runs up Pikes Peak. Her achievements on both the A052s during the actual Pikes Peak race and on the A005s while filming with Apple showcases the exceptional performance of our products. It’s thrilling to see Apple capture these historic moments from such a unique perspective, bringing the excitement and precision of motorsports to a wider audience.”
