The 'Maverick' Classic Porsche Forum and Classic Porsche Club for Porsche 356, Aircooled Porsche 911, Porsche 912, Porsche 914 & Porsche Replicas. 'We join for the cars but stay for the people'
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.
