Morning,
On the quest to become the 13th driver to finish in less than 10 minutes and break his personal record, Jeff Zwart races his 800 horsepower Porsche 911 GT3 Turbo Cup up the 12.42 mile Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course.

The video truly captures Thorold’s gift of expert hand/eye coordination. Just like a racing driver, a pro baseball player hitting 100 MPH fastball, and jet fighters locating targets, this gentleman has the skill to thrill. Watch Thorrold as you can see he moves his body and his eyes smoothly, quickly, and deliberately.

That 356 is pretty f-ing cool. I was going to do that to my 914 was persuaded not to. Should have had more balls and just done it. Maybe i Should get the nitromors out....
