Porsche Wins Pikes Peak Hillclimb

Porsche Wins Again and Breaks Another Record. This time at the Pikes Peak Time Attack Class With a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Breaking the Record by 38 Seconds -- Ahead of Every Production-based Car Entered. Jeff Zwart, from Woody Creek, Colorado, driving the specially-prepared Luminox Watch Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car, has won and set a new record in the 2WD Time Attack class in Sunday's 88th running of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb.

Zwart, now a seven-time Pikes Peak class winner, not only broke the 2009 class record by 38 seconds, but went faster than all but five of the entire field -- three Unlimited Class and two Open Wheels cars, all with 600-plus horsepower. His 911 GT3 Cup car also beat all the production based race car entries.

@shanens187 yeah but as he's climbing all the time the rear wheels get most of the grip in comparison to the front ones so it's not all that hard.

gotta have big ones to drive a RW drive car w/that much power up the hill... not as amazing any more since they paved 75% now, 75% less fun!!!

Race cars are very friendy and easy to drive until you reach the 90th% anything over that comes to who you are and what you made of, i have to say tho in races everyone pushing the last 5% and in most races that 5% has 20 drivesr in it fighting for the 1st place so yea good driver, the fact of the matter is there are 10000 of FANTASTIC drivers out there they just dont get lucky to get a team and COUNTLESS practice sessions, runing THIS ROAD WEEK in advanced any way its nice to watch nice setup
