A proper Hillclimb

Now that's what I call a hillclimb!
http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetevovideos/211222/trento_bondone_hillclimb.html
Pity it's a bit far for when I've the F27 running but bet it's still fun in a Mr. Hertz Fiesta TDCi next time we're there.
The car is driven by Simone Faggioli, it's a Honda powered Osella 260 bhp and 535kgs. Now outclassed by F3000's which broke the course record at 9.40 for the 17.3kms approx. = to 70mph av.
Wanna go there!
Cheers, Pewe

Been up Mt.Bondone a couple of times (in my Mini) on the Italian Job Charity Event.
Just watch out for baby Fiats with Abarth badges
[Did manage to overtake a Piaggio Ape however ]
Going up is fun - but coming back down I burnt out the brakes.

That man is fearless! There's one bit about 2/3 through where he drives over the brow of a hill and accelerates - and keeps on accelerating through quite a few twists. Awesome.
