While Linhbergh was shooting stills of the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb – I was filming a short on 2WD Time Attack Class competitor Jeff Zwart. During Friday qualifying Jeff set a new qualifying record in his Porsche GT3 Cup of 5:01.642 (bottom third).
This quick video is from the in-car camera from the run and the sound of the naturally aspirated Porsche flat six is raw. For the hill climb the 997 was setup with shorter gears – so there is plenty of shifting through the paved to gravel lower section. Enjoy the sounds, impressive driving, and scenery as you ride shotgun with Jeff Zwart in his Porsche GT3 Cup.

That is nutty! No fear!
A couple moments but a very controlled ride, impressive job and congrats on both records!
Why is the scenery out of focus, and the interior in focus?
Audio can't be beat though.
insane..love the transition from asphalt to dirt.
wow
Porsche on gravel is a interesting mix
that camera is epic
beautiful sound
lucky basterd!!
Zwart got to drive one of the world greatest road with one of the world greatest car.
That 997 GT3 Cup looks so fun on dirt and also quite a handful with that backpack effect...
great footage
WTH....he never got above the tree line??
Sweet video! Anyone know what camera was used?
I want video of Jeff driving the peak in his 964, 993, and 996 GT2.
SammyZ, yes, not above the tree line - because it was a qualifying run during practice on the bottom third of the mountain. Full video coming soon.
what kind of tire do you run or look for in a race like this? I can tell the grip difference between the paved and dirt sections. Great amount of focus and preparation in that car. Great video!!!
