    GT3 at Pikes Peak

    Alright, it's not an early 911... But this is a great bit of in-car from the recent Pikes Peak event in the US. It starts out pretty normal (Targa Tassie like), but the wheel work gets impressive as the car gets into the gravel to the top!

    Porsche Wins Again and Breaks Another Record. This time at the Pikes Peak Time Attack Class With a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Breaking the Record by 38 Seconds...

    I suspect the changes in surface would keep you on your toes!

            Just came across this thread.

            Road to Remarkables in Queenstown is also fun!

            Family not happy though, when decending at speed .....

              Andy, just yesterday I went up and down Coronet Peak road with more haste than the family would have wanted, in a rent-a-dore. Wish I had the R36 over here...

                John what a contrast.... I'm sitting in Delhi remembering what it's like in NZ. 40 degC here and about 20 million people, all at one intersection. No fun driving here!

                    Connaught Circle is looking splendid like the rest of the city. Every f***ing road, bridge and railway line is dug up for the Commonwealth Games. And everyone that isn't, is, just for the sake of it ! f**k what a mess. Makes the gaza strip look like Switzerland. and will it be ready in time ? "Yes Sir, most positively". Bull**** !

                    "Jesus Blimey God." (wobble, wobble)


                    and did someone say grass. Nah, never heard of the stuff !

                      Great footage.... Matt Hart has gotten to know Jeff Zwart quite well I believe.

                      Must be a Cup car (sequential gearbox) with its suspension and ground clearance revised?
