#EuropeanHillClimbChampionship
The European Hill Climb Championship is an international motorsport competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), contested on closed public roads, generally following mountainous routes. Established in 1930, it is the oldest FIA championship still in existence, although its history includes periods of interruption. Unlike circuit racing, hillclimb competitors start individually and race against the clock over an uphill course, with classifications determined by their recorded times. The championship has traditionally accommodated various categories of racing cars, including touring cars, Grand Touring cars, sports prototypes and single-seaters, with technical regulations evolving over the decades. During the 1950s and 1960s, manufacturers such as Porsche, Ferrari, Abarth and Alfa Romeo were directly involved, while prominent competitors included Wolfgang von Trips, Edgar Barth, Ludovico Scarfiotti and Peter Schetty. Later championship figures included Mauro Nesti, Simone Faggioli and Christian Merli. Among its established events are the Trento–Bondone in Italy, Ecce Homo in the Czech Republic, Rechberg in Austria and Rampa da Falperra in Portugal. The championship remains an important part of European motorsport, combining long-established competitions with continuously evolving vehicle categories and safety requirements.
We'll tell the story of this championship on the occasion of its anniversary or when it will reach a sufficient number of cars.
