I think you'll find it was Ari Vatanen...

With Peugeot, Vatanen also won the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, after Peugeot stopped participating in the World Rally Championship in 1986, due to the demise of Group B rallying. Peugeot used the lessons learnt from its 205 T16 to create the 405 T16. With at least 600 bhp (447 kW), large aerofoils, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, Vatanen took the car up the hill in record time, his efforts being captured in the award-winning short film Climb Dance.

Not bad for a Pigout. Interestingly, they had an STI model long before Subaru :)

I said one had to be a masochist to play this game... and Ari is proving it...

Throttle control is so easy, even a 10 year old can do it:
