Jeff Zwart is the kind of guy you want to buy your supercar if you’re a manufacturer. Spending money on some of the loveliest and most powerful supercars around, he then races them and what better way for a little publicity? In this video we see him drive 1,800 km from California all the way to the base of Pikes Peak for the annual event. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS he does it in is an unlikely vehicle for an American road tour, but it matches the scenery nicely anyway.
Last year Zwart drove a 911 GT3 Cup at Pikes Peak, dominating the two-wheel drive category. This time, when using the GT2 RS in the Time Attack 2WD category, he came second, three seconds behind Rod Millen at the wheel of the RMR Hyundai-powered PM580. Check out his adventure across the American landscape before the race in the video above.
