Further explanation of the theme, as described by Nato_777:
"I remember well the first time I saw Nobuhiro (Monster) Tajima's insane Escudo when he brought
it to New Zealand for the Queenstown Gold Rush International Auto Hill Climb in 1998.
Unfortunately we don't have the Pikes Peak track in GT5 so we'll have to use what we've got.
This week I want you to take blow the cobwebs this Suzuki on a run around Eiger Nordwand's K-Trail."
CAR: ESCUDO Dirt Trial Car '98.
LOCATION: Eiger Nordwand K Trail.
