Getting a good time at the Goodwood Hillclimb isn't simple. There's the gnarly camber that tugs away at the steering, the hay bales with huge magnets inside (probably) and the rather solid Flint Wall to avoid. So much respect has to go to the man who completed his run in under a minute, in this Ferrari Scuderia Spider.
We don't know who was driving, though a certain German in a white suit isn't out of the question. He knows his way around Ferraris, after all.
But while one minute is a good time for a road car, there are quicker ways to get up the Hill. Check out these two clips:
Watch Nick Heidfeld in a McLaren MP4/13 (41.6secs)
Watch Rod Millen in the Toyota Tacoma ‘Pike’s Peak’ (45.08secs, in the wet). Stick with it until the end and watch him get hard on the brakes.

meh, this would only amaze people who stick to motorways and other widened carraigways. Country boys like me are used to driving down roads fast with hedges bristling both wing mirrors constantly! the only difference is that im not scared of trashing my car, but i probably would be if i was hammering it in that beauty!
