Video is of Jeff Zwart who is a Pikes Peak regular. He is driving a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the 2WD Time Attack class. He broke the class record by 38 seconds, was the fastest production based car and was sixth fastest overall. Not bad for a non-turbo 2WD car on loose surface and at HP robbing altitude.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

IT LOOKS TO ME THAT MORE OF THE ROADWAY IS NOW PAVED AS COMPARED TO THE LAST VIDEO OF THE CLIMB THAT I WATCHED.

They pave more and more of it each year. Boo.

X2! I'm sorry, but I couldn't feel any sympathy for an idiot like that if they were to get hit.
