If Pikes Peak, or even the Goodwood Hillclimb layout get added, I could see them having their own section(s) in the Mission Challenge mode, in a similar way to how the Goodwood time trials were on GT6. Just need enough appropriate cars to be added first I think like the Escudo, ID. R, WRX IoM TT etc.
Fun fact. Colorado Springs, the rally circuit already in the game, is the closest settlement to Pikes Peak itself. Not too sure if you can see the mountain from the track though.

If added, it could be a layout within the Colorado Springs location. That might explain why the current circuit is listed as:
Colorado Springs - Lake
If there's going to be:
Colorado Springs - Pikes Peak Hillclimb
We saw this with other circuits that eventually got new layouts:
- Alsace - Village
- Alsace - Test Course (Added in GT7)
- Sardegna - Windmills
- Sardegna - Road Track A/B/C (Added in GT Sport update)
If a circuit has a hyphen, that seems to indicate more than one layout being intended.
I could be mistaken, but I think Colorado Springs is the only remaining case of a track that has a hyphen, but only 1 layout.
Notably Fishermans Ranch, another rally circuit,
doesn't have a hyphen, meaning that's most likely a complete circuit with no other intended layouts.
