The small car was a Fiat 500. Later on there was a NSU TT followed by a Opel Manta.

I thought so. But those back wheels are where the back bumper would be, or even farther behind. Very cool looking.

2:40 - Fun Fact, Ian: that "little" Skoda has the mythical 5-cylinder engine and the Quattro transmission swap from an Audi RS3. 3:00 - If you want to know the insane power figures of that Golf you should react to some of Hillclimb Monsters' videos, that car is featured in almost all of them. Their videos usually consist of a top 10 or 15 cars from one class, so you'll know in what place they finished, and they always have lots of information about each car. This is a very good way for you to be acquainted with the vehicles that you're not familiar with, as well as with all the crazy stuff they do in terms of engines and transmissions. Plus, their videos are short and you can watch them without skipping around. In fact, I'm sure you'll be so captivated that you won't even think about doing it. 😀 4:30 - It's the same Skoda from 2:40! 🙂

[@irishwristwatch2487]

Absolutely second this, HC monsters is a great channel and Karl is probably one of the strongest drivers on the Euro HC scene right now, the man is phenonemal behind the wheel of that golf. I love the nerd specs on their channel too, seeing the displacement and trying to guess the engine 😂

[@arekb5951]

yeah, that RS3 drivetrain is quite a popular swap among VAG cars since the RS3 is basically a Golf and the platform that Golf uses is a base for many other models. I've seen a RS3 swapped Caddy even.

European hillclimbs are something else. I used to compete 20 odd years ago and some of the cars were unbelievable. The UK doesn't seem to have as many crazy creations as continental Europe but the big single seaters here are a sight to behold. 450kg and 650bhp. Ex F1 and DTM engines screaming to 12k rpm.

[@itsZdan]

[@Fwuedwikk]

Hillclimbs are my absolute favorite motorsport, I hope you react to more of these!

[@hugovilag]

That 5:30 weird car was a Lancia Beta Montecarlo, its Group 5 version was MAD. Also that white crazy Golf plays with +800hp, and the black Evo closer to 1000hp. Most of 4wd turbo cars in there push well over 600hp. Got to see them in Falperra a few times, they are MENTAL.

[@ScottEDawg]

And there I was looking up the Lancia 037 Stradale...

[@prefono]

Finally! A race of this championship takes place every year in Ascoli Piceno, a city close to mine. Seeing a deeply tuned supercar, a prototype, a rally car with twice the horsepower or a single-seater formula car going up a mountain road is something absurd. Unfortunately, on video you can't understand how fast they really are and how you feel the ground vibrate under your feet.

[@shaggings]

5:30 is a Lancia Montecarlo, the 037 Group B prototype was 1st built on to the Montecarlo.

I Really like how much you appreciate our small country, its beautiful landscapes as well as the car culture. It makes me really happy to see someone react to this. I live to the far West of Austria 2 minutes away from the border to Switzerland, so i often go to Hill-climb races there, one i really like is "Oberhallau".

[@rome0610]

The Rechbergrennen (Rechberg race) takes place about 30 km / 20 miles north of Graz.

@@IWrocker While taking a look at endurance racing I'll recommend that you also take a look at the Nurburgring 24h. Some crazy germans is still racing a old Opel Manta there! Unfortunatly rumours say that this year might've been the last year , guess its hard to keep up with modern Porches and BMWs In a 40 year old Opel

1:03 - this BWM has a v8 or v10 JUDD engine (straight technology from 90' F1)

[@Grez6232]

In answer to how fast these hillclimb cars are compared to a street car, the fastest car up the hill in this race averaged 47.65mph. That's a proper prototype race car. The fastest modified street car (the white and blue Mk.2 VW Golf) averaged 42.69mph. Looking at the course map for the event (annoyingly I've not located it on Google Maps, the event website is spectacularly unhelpful in that) I reckon the latest Golf GTi, driven to the limit, might just about average 30-35mph. A realistic average speed driven normally, with traffic, might be about 20mph.

[@michiel5160]

That white and blue Golf is Karl Schagerl's, one of the fastest hillclimb cars. Car started out as a daily driver, Karl did a slalom race and found himself a new hobby. A little bit of tuning later this thing has 850 hp.

[@MarkusBoettner]

Don't know if the Lancia was Felix Pailer. He is / used to be kinda a hill climb hero in his Delta - somewhere between 650 and 700 hp. Madness!

[@davidhiscock1969]

There are numerous European hillclimbs vids on here . The little old Opel Kadetts sound absolutely awesome. Wicked sounding intake noise on them

[@live4trucking]

6:47 It is a old Zastava 650 or 750. They were build for the Ex-Jugoslavian market.

[@leowalless9328]

The first care you couldn't identify was a Lancia Montecarlo, a mid-engined Lancia from the late 70's

[@andreashofer4442]

I drove some hillclimbs in Austria and more less all cars have cinter metal clutches and quite above 300hp at least, besides some ultra light old (looking) BMW's, Fords and Opels, up to 8-900 Hp in the winning cars. Wittmann with his Audi S1 told me he had around 1000 and the front wheels were only touching the ground on shiftings. Btw, usually we're using our Ice Rally cars, to do Hill Climbs on a little different setup, but the main attracktion and passion is Ice Rally for most - there are videos fro Austrian Ice Rally -with Skodas of course :) PS: the Cars you didn't know were Lancia, Opel Manta, Fiat 500 & VW.

[@JanBinnendijk]

That car at 5:29 in the Martini Livery was a Lancia Beta Montecarlo, basically the street version of the 037 Ralley Car.. i've driven one.. its a blast! Handles like a Go-Kart..

Hardly. Street version of rally 037 is 037 Stradale. However Beta Montecarlo was basis for the famous 037...

@@drakenfire2189 That's exactly what i wanted to point out.. the 037 Both Ralley and Stradale were based on the Beta MonteCarlo (which shared some components with Fiat's X1/9, making the Beta Monte Carlo an X1/9 on Steroids.. it even shares the taillights..)

[@Binaural_Zen]

Have you heard of Pikes Peak? It's in Colorado. The first Pikes Peak Hill Climb was promoted by Spencer Penrose, who had converted the narrow carriage road into the much wider Pikes Peak Highway. The first Penrose Trophy was awarded in 1916 to Rea Lentz with a time of 20:55.60. In the same year Floyd Clymer won the motorcycle class with a time of 21:58.41. In 1924 the final Penrose Trophy was awarded to Otto Loesche in his Lexington Special. In the years following, Glen Scultz and Louis Unser shared a rivalry and won the event 12 times between them. In 1929, the popular stock car class was added to the event.

[@spaky5400]

Ian, you definitely gotta plan a trip to tour Europe. It would make for some great content. It'd be good practice to start doing some more out-of-the-house videos, like when you and the missus went to that restaurant. That'll prepare you for what video equipment you might need to upgrade to, how many memory cards and batteries you need and so on. Adapters might be a thing too... the European power grid is 230V, 60Hz. Outlets are also different from the US, even between countries within the EU. Take care bro!✌

I can tell you a few times from the Agatha Hill Climb wich is also in Austria and equal to the Rechberg. This are some typical times for the 2mile long track. - old Fiat 500 and Styer Puch ~2:00min - Group H Racecars like the VW Polo in this Video ~1:30min - GT3 racecars ~1:20min - Karl Schlagerl with his VW spoiler monster in this Video 1:10min - open wheels and prototype racecar ~1:00min - Christian Merlin with his Osella quite under 1:00min. 🤪 Years ago there were also so-called Group G cars. These are completely stock cars without modifications, except safety. This cars takes over 2:00min. Now you can see how fast fast is.😂 By the way... that meant also that's the fastest cars are driving with an average speed of 120mph over these streets.😎

[@PaladinJenkis]

Have to give you some props for properly pronouncing Porsche.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

I watch hill climb videos al the time, the variety is great, old and new cars, and there are almost no rules in the unlimited class. So the wildest creations can be seen, and the most important is that it is all done without the multi million dollar budgets of NASCAR or F1. The sound of the cars often is heavenly, like the Skoda Fabia R5 with that 5 cylinder Audi engine or the Porsche 997 GT3, but a screaming NA 4 cylinder at 10.000rpm does it as well. The Lancer Evos in the video has 860hp from a 2,2 liter 4 cylinder engine, but also the NA cars reach stupid power figures of up to 180hp per liter, indeed some of the 2 liter NA cars have 360hp!
