After setting a new record with his qualifying run, Jeff Zwart won the Time Attack class with a time of 11:31.095 at the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. Beating the previous record, set by Rhys Millen in 2009 in his Hyundai Genesis.
A Canon 5D Mark II was rigged over Jeff's shoulder to capture the run. The recording length limit on the Canon DSLRs in video mode is 12 minutes. We joked that Jeff had to run under 12 minutes or else we wouldn't be able to capture his entire run. I pushed record seconds before his start and Jeff had recording time to spare at the top with his 11 minute dash. Watch from the cockpit as his Porsche GT3 Cup screams up the hill.

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 I'm curious to know so much more about the build and team behind you. Great video!!!
that is super cool. ive watched that video 3 times now.
i want to see more like it from pikes peak but on the outside of the car, if anyone comes across any post up some links!
10:20 seconds in, some one was getting their formula d on!
what an awesome video!!!!
And I think i saw Linhbergh on the side of the road.
I can do better.
Great question. Jeff is a multi Pikes Peak Hillclimb champion and we are asking him to do a guest blog on his experiences at Pikes Peak. Glad you liked the video - full edit coming shortly.
insane track and driving.
Excellent indeed! I also wonder on tyre (tire) choice
?
That looks like entirely too much fun
OMG!! AWESOME DRIVING!
Track is cool. But spectators safety is horrible
incredible video
what a rush
Awesome
maybe mini should build a hill climb car for next year and that could settle that little situation
Dude, you almost took out that guys chair at 9:02! Awsome stuff.
7:35 looks so scary. all you can see is a strand of road and the sky.
@11:00... truly epic
I WILL have the skill and experience to do this someday. When that opportunity comes... I just might wet myself.
Jeff is the man. You should see his 700+ acre ranch that has his own 1.7 mile rally course on it!
