_this race footage comes from inside the cockpit of the porsche 911 gt3 cup race car entry of jeff zwart who not only won his category but also set a new record in the 2wd time attack class with this performance in sunday’s 88th running of the pikes peak hillclimb.
now a seven-time pikes peak class winner, zwart not only broke the previous class record by an incredible 38 seconds but went faster than all but three cars from the unlimited class and two open wheel cars.
