I don't know what the concrete use of knowing pi to extreme precision is (though I'm sure one could cook up something like using them as random numbers or something), and I guess calculating pi to great lengths is more like a sport. But I've read that the bbp formula is used in some compilers to evaluate transcendental functions. But again, having a representation of pi can always serve as the basis of new theorems with not forseeable applications.
