That is a hill climb. Its the Trento Bondone in Italy. All classes run, from open weel to vintage.

Pilot is Massimo Ronconi

Yes, but i have 505 HP, and I only drive flat out. They obviously set that course up for Miatas.

Shweeet. I just did a tarmac rally myself last weekend, although with a lot less power than it seems he's got He can sure pedal that thing. I'll see if I can upload my in car footage for comparison.

It's a lot more tighter roads, but ohh.... what I could do with the power that guy's got in his '14 Still my little ole 2litre 4pot is good enough for me at the moment, gives me just enough grunt for my abilities at the moment.

Reminds my of the original CGA "Test Drive" video game (hill on left, cliff on right).

I could do that on a video game after 20-30 tries...

while not NEARLY as impressive as Mr. Ronconi, go to my race team website for some video's from Targa Newfoundland a few years back (and a few Club Race videos)

http://www.naroescapemotorsports.com/ click on Videos.

Keep in mind, in a hill climb, you have a few practice runs, so you know the course.
At Targa, the first and only time you see the course is when you're racing it. You have a navigator to give directions (my wife Nadine). This was from our first year, and as you can see, the roads are not nearly as smooth as the hill climb.

Huey had a 2.0/ 6 cylinder, and as you can hear in the Brigus video, the linkage was loose....at best.
