Robin Shute

In August 2022 the Segrave Trophy was awarded to hillclimb racer Robin Shute for being the first and only British driver to have claimed overall victory at Pikes Peak.

Norfolk-born Shute took his latest win in what was the 100th running of the legendary American hillclimb – in the process overcoming cold and wet conditions, as well as thick cloud towards the summit. Having set the fastest-ever qualifying time for an internal combustion car, Shute was in a class of his own aboard his 550bhp, 2.1-litre Wolf TSC-FS, and his time of 10 minutes 9.525 seconds was 25 seconds clear of his nearest competitor.
