2002 Norma M20

Perched beneath the iconic Pagoda on Mount Penn, the sleek 2002 Norma M20 delivered a masterclass in hillclimb performance. In a stunning display of precision and power, this well-honed prototype claimed overall victory on the demanding 1.35‑mile Duryea Drive course, wowing spectators and competitors alike.

Powered by a high-output 2.0‑liter engine and featuring a lightweight, carbon-tub chassis common to Norma’s legendary M20 line, the car combined rapid acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and consistent aerodynamic stability—an ideal mix for carving up the nine-turn technical sprint.

The Norma’s dominance was clear: it sliced through the lower flat sections, carried speed through “Oh‑S**T” (Turn 6), and hugged the sweeping final corners with surgical accuracy. Its whine climbed toward the finish line just below the Pagoda, echoing triumphantly across the hillside.

A crowd favorite and deserving champion, the 2002 Norma M20 became a true “King of the Hill”—proving that even two decades later, Norma’s engineering brilliance remains a force to be reckoned with in North American hillclimb competition.
