Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima has broken the 13-year-old record for the Pikes Peak hillclimb in his 993bhp Suzuki XL7 (left).
Tajima, the 57-year-old president of Suzuki Sport, is a Pikes Peak veteran and also won last year’s event. His time of 10min 01.408sec up the 12.42-mile climb eclipsed that of Kiwi Rod Millen in a Toyota Celica in 1994. Tajima aims to crack 10 minutes in 2008
