A Pikes Peak Story - Porsche 911 Turbo S: 🏁 2022 Winner 🏁 | Carfection

This film is the story of David Donner’s drive in the 100th running of the famous Pikes Peak Hillclimb this year. Donner has won Pikes Peak outright three times and remains the last American to be crowned King of the Hill. This year he wasn’t aiming for the overall, instead hoping to reclaim the record he once held for the fastest production car up to the finish line at 14,115ft.
The plan was hatched along with renowned Porsche magazine, 000. And the car chosen for the task was a Porsche 911 Turbo S. It really was a production street car as well, licensed to drive on the road. Champion Motorsport prepared the car, with Technical Director Tom Pelov overseeing operations and Victor Scanapico carrying out the modifications with real artistry. As you’d expect, various additions and alterations had to be made to meet the safety regulations and these included a cage (built to NASCAR specs in NASCAR country), a competition seat, the deletion of all carpets (for fire safety), a fuel cell, a fire extinguisher system and electrical cut off (with switches so beautifully set into the central cup holder that they look like a factory option).
There were just a couple of performance enhancing modifications that could be made, the first of which was a new exhaust from Sharkwerks. This was installed mainly to help with turbo speeds at the higher altitudes. Incidentally, some cars apparently had to replace turbos on a daily basis but the factory items on the Turbo S remained bulletproof throughout.
The ECU was also tuned and the car ran on race fuel, but other than that it was stock. No changes were made to the suspension, brakes, transmission, AWD system, wheels or aerodynamics. Even the tyres were street-legal Michelin Cup 2 Rs.
Actually, there was one other change that might have helped shave a couple of psychological tenths: The rather inspiring livery. Pete Stout, editor of 000, and his team came up with the idea to put pages of one of the magazine’s features (about a 930 Turbo) onto the car. `Very fitting. And just as you might assume you need an EV to be competitive on Pikes Peak these days, so there is a narrative in media that digital is the only way forward and ‘print is dead’. As such the combination of an internal combustion engine car and a successful print magazine is rather a pleasing union.
Anyway, the 911 arrived at Pikes Peak at the start of the week with just 40 miles on the clock. It had covered 340 miles by the time it returned, under its own steam, to Donner’s garage at the end. No consumables other than fuel and tyres were replenished, nor did it require any alignment work.
Yet its performance was hardly slow and steady. The weather for the 100th Pikes Peak was atrocious, which realistically put the record out of reach. However, in terms of the pure 2022 competition, the inclement conditions undoubtedly swung the odds in both the driver’s and the car’s favour.
Using all his skill and years of accumulated knowledge Donner put in an incredible performance. I can only assume that driving into that thick cloud must have been like running full pelt into dense white smoke and counting your paces in order to dodge the fire you know is in there. But even on the relatively well-sighted lower slopes the commitment and speed is spectacular, especially given the clearly slippery surface.
And given the speed it is very easy to forget that the car is a production road car. For just this reason I love it when the film switches to the over-the-shoulder camera angle as the view is of an almost entirely standard road car interior. The trim is all there on the dashboard along with the familiar central touch screen showing the tyre pressure monitoring display. The everyday competition car.
The end result for Donner and the Turbo S was a sensational second place. Not in class. Second place overall. They were only beaten by Robin Schute in his wild Unlimited class Wolf TSC-FS (which has Turbo S-rivalling 600bhp but weighs only a touch over 500kg). Obviously the Exhibition class win was Donner’s as well, the Turbo S over half a minute clear of the second place Tesla Model 3.
In fact, even with the atrocious weather, Donner was a mere 16 seconds shy of the record he set out to beat. Next year, maybe. Perhaps with even less stress and more fun.

In Germany there is a 991.2 Turbo S of 2020 by PP-Performance, tuned to 1000 BHP with stock gearbox and even most of the engine stock - they made 45 runs in a row on a drag race (in between all the R35 GT R with 1000 BHP needed to fix stuff and they already were running with a custom gearbox) and it had not a single problem. Afterwards the owner used it again as his daily. The 911 Turbo S is the best allround supercar ever built... it's a racecar, a highway car, a daily for 365 days a year.

It’s shocking how fast it is and it sounds like it’s hardly working compared to the GT Porsches. What a machine! Also, credit to the driver who kept the speed up despite white out conditions for the top third. Very brave.

    I live in Colorado and frequently enjoy hustling my cars over various mountain passes, but some passes are scarier than others with lots of sheer drop-offs and with no guardrails. I recently went over Cottonwood pass (might have been that same weekend) in the rain and fog and I was white-knuckle driving at about 5 mph with just 25 to 50 feet of visibility, it was scary. I can't imagine racing a car up those dangerous switchbacks in the fog like shown in the video. That is pure craziness or courage or something.

    That's the whole impressive thing: even with turbo or supercharging, thanks to less oxygen in the air at higher altitudes combustion engines have less power the higher the sealevel. Charging compensated that a little. But electric motors and batteries don't have that problem. They don't need oxygen. So it's even more impresive that a standard 911 Turbo S was able to do that in that manner. As for VTG turbos: they are used in Diesel engines for 2 decades already, but Porsche was able to get materials that withstand the higher exhaust temperatures of petrol/gasoline engines at high rpm full throttle for long. (One reason they are that expensive)

    Wait ✋ until winter, buy a set of all season or winter tires now when they are cheap and drive it on snow somewhere to go on a ski holiday. Even offer to drive whist your friends ski or pick them up from the airport. This will give you a learning window at a much slower pace and time where you can do the same roads with a lower grip. Use the all season tires in the rain to push the limits and in the spring you will have your current Pilot Sport Cup 2 ready to take it to another envelope

I remember being very disappointed they had completed paving of the entire road. She was so terrified of the views and lack of guardrails she actually stopped talking to me for a while. At the summit we both got symptoms of hypoxia. Pikes peak is no joke.

Not some GT product limited to special people or 1 of 2 hypercar! If BMW Motorsport is paying attention, build an M3 Touring for the production class! Show what the platform can do. Not just another oversized SUV. If you can beat GT and race cars in this event that would get people's attention. That is why Porsche has real pedigree.

    I actually think this video has a significant weakness. Of course the sections showing the driver and road are relevant, but it's the first 5 or so minutes that are pretty disappointing. There's a few shots that are engaging - but most seem to be very much 'style over substance'. Yes, we know it's good to tease interest, and capture elements of the overall subject, but it's ended up being an incoherent and unsatisfying collection of randomness. Too little vehicle noise. Edits too short to visually convey the meaningful content. Too little of the geographic context of the track. Too little matching of visual to narrated audio. Focus on the dialogue, and the images tell very little. Try to extract some impressions or information from the visual, and much of the fairly slow and vague descriptions, just fade into nothing.

I am a private pilot and flew at 10-12k a lot. I had never had altitude sickness before, but I was a wreck. My well rested family found it amusing. As I was suffering a splitting headache a group walked up and included a 70 year old woman celebrating her birthday with the climb...I felt like quite the wuss. lol. As a Porsche GTS keeper I am glad to see PCar leading the charge up The Peak.
