You are surely an expert.

Those hill climb races (Bergrennen) were very popular in Austria throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with cars throughout the various categories, Niki Lauda, Dr.Helmut Marko and Dieter Quester competing in them, amongst others. Famous was the Gaisberg-Rennen up the city mountain of Salzburg, the Gaisberg. No joke, pure courage, and safety standards abysmal.

This was when men still were men - I am amazed it is still allowed nowadays in any part of the world.

Try actually going to a hill climb. Then come back and tell me that.

British hillclimb courses are usually less than a mile, with maybe 4 or five bends. The European stuff uses public road courses of several miles. Its very different. smile.gif

Its road racing without all the other people around you.

If you think that is insane youtube Irish Road racing. The lap record at Dundrod is 133mph.

Also, not taking away from what the drivers are doing in the video,thats awesome.
