Winning with a 300hp N/A car. These guys must do a thing or two the right way.

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

Schagerl and his monster Golf were 4 hundredths off lol Like, the Tucci Fiat got his ass but only BARELY.

Highly depend on driver and car setup no matter how much HP you have....

[@HillClimbMonsters]

285Hp*... and pretty much nailing every bit of this hill on its fastest run, we have to say...

[@gafrers]

So many great ones. S1, Delta, Golf II and X1/9 👌👌

[@purwantiallan5089]

All the cars in this hillclimb event are equally awesome!

[@purwantiallan5089]

FIAT X1/9 FERRARI is definitely the best car in this Hillclimb event. The sound of that car is also gorgeous! ❤

[@Tom-Lahaye]

The X 1/) was like on rails, absolute grip levels in this car.

[@aplestone6878]

Love the Impreza driver going all in on the chicane!

[@stoneeh]

I was wondering why the X1 was doing so well, but the onboard made it clear - it's so light and nimble through those tight corners. It's a close race (no pun intended) though, but the 992 steals my heart again - such a beautiful machine 😍

[@feral4mr2]

That fiat x1/9! 😍😍

Very stacked field on one of the most spectacular and demanding hillclimbs recorded in a way you really feel dynamic and action. Love onboard bits from few cars there as well.This is how you make a video from racing event.Thank you for years of tireless promotion of this amazing and beautiful raw motorsport.

[@JohnTaylor-zl4tjr]

So many faves in that lot..., Norbert Wimmer 2002, Hermann Blasl - Kadett, Nikolay Zlatkov - Audi S1, Milan Bubnic - Integrale, and Gianluca Ticci - X19. Yes I'm greedy but at my age you are allowed to be. Well that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

We have to agree with the sentiment that picking a favourite here is pretty hard regardless of age ;)

[@TheFerrariTeam]

Thanks bro,nice video 👍👍

[@briangriffith3985]

Ticci vs Dondi would be epic!!!

Next year it´ll be inevitable....

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Much much appreciated!! And hopefully we can feature your Kadett next season much more ;)

[@module79l28]

A 20min video? Wow, this time you guys went all out with the duration of the clips from each car! 👏👏👏 I'm assuming that the Ferrari head on the X1/9 is one of the heads of a Ferrari V8 engine, right? I have to say that the road surface left much to be desired, though.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Yeah, we have been toying witht he idea of making longer videos to offer more to the audience ;) And you can check on our info boxes exactly which Ferrari Engine head was used on the X1/9

[@HillClimbMonsters]

The thing is that here at Cividale pretty much everyone raced on optimal conditions (apart from Grudnik which crashed on its last run and was on the way to place either 5th or 4th, and Zlatkov who continues the development of the new Quattro).

Did Karl drive part of the track in first gear or how did he lose?

[@jurinout8665]

This is the fastest single run time, not the combined time. Schagerl was fastest touring car with just an 0,46 sec. lead.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Nope. He was straight up beaten in normal conditions as far as doing the best single run of the weekend.

[@magicmulder]

@@HillClimbMonsters Thanks!

[@Timrud1]

Do you get a time penalty for knocking into the tyres?

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Depends. On that case with Taus, there wasn´t as they deemed there was no noticeable advantage taken from it.

[@Timrud1]

@@HillClimbMonsters Sorry I can't remember driver names, the Lancia just clipped them, but the Subaru seems to brake late and carry too much speed, felt like he could have got an advantage? But fair enough if they take each case on its merits. Thanks again for a great video!

[@matthewmattmatthew8335]

.03 between first and second 😬

[@dbfcrell8300]

The skills of each driver not withstanding, it seems the more BHP a car has along with the more air handling the car has (wings, dams and and diffusers) the more a driver has to "tame the beast" which "looks to my unprofessional eye" to add up to a partial loss of efficiency. Again, a good driver in an over-powered car may seem to overcome some of these losses, but I would think the right car for the track would usually prevail.

[@eestlanebootysweat7572]

why people keep ignoring the 200-300kg advantage the fiat has over them?

[@ParabolaConcepts]

You build your own advantage. Clearly most believe raw power will give them the advantage. The Fiat chose less weight.

[@CX0909]

You could spend several hundred thousand dollars, or several million, on a Ferrari OR you could mod an X 1/9 and have just as much fun for a mere fraction of the cost.

[@rustypotatos]

I own a x19….. and in the luckiest person ever lmao. Now I gotta find a Ferrari head

[@mrdewy]
