Default Pikes Peak Porsche

I know I am a fanboy but this is pretty impressive.

Jeff Zwart holds the class record for the hill in a Porsche full on race spec up car.

This year he raced in a show room GT2 RS...

A new record

All those twisties. Wouldn't a Subaru have been a better choice?


That GT2 RS in red looked awsome.

I prefer the sound of the n/a GT3 personally

Here he is last year on the full on Cup race car with sequential box etc.

Just goes to show - being a manual didn't slow him down this year.

Pikes Peak GT3

Surely a Turbo would be better? The last thing you need to do at Pikes Peak is disconnect your four wheel drive!
