Since the construction of Heaven's Gate, nobody had ever tried to drive up to it. This was the first time in history that anyone dared to take up this challenge. And when interviewed, people that work and live around the mountain said of the task, "it is impossible." This is an understandable statement since the drive up towards Heaven's Gate is steep, very steep in fact, the slope sits at a 45-degree angle. This means that if at any point the vehicle loses traction, gravity will take over, causing the vehicle to roll down the mountain. Success was not guaranteed because of the unpredictable weather, but Land Rover still decided to take on the challenge even though the outcome was not 100% certain. If at any time it started to rain or fog, the steps would've become too slippery and the vehicle might've rolled down with fatal consequences for the driver.
But after what took a lot of determination, courage, and power, Ho-Pin Tung made it successfully to the top, welcomed by the beauty and brightness of Heaven's Gate. The entire Dragon Challenge was completed in 21 minutes and 47 seconds. This marked another great achievement for Land Rover and Ho-Pin Tung's career as a professional racing driver. Once more, Land Rover proved that their vehicles are capable of taking on any challenge, even the impossible ones!
