TOP 15 MONSTERS || Kitzeck HillClimb 2024

[@SuperBubba01]

For me the Astra MK3. You don't see that car often.. and specially that one looks really nice. Of course there was the 993 and Delta... Or the WRC EVO... But the Astra was special. :)

[@TonttuUkkeli-ht3en]

All of them. Imbossible to chose just one😅

[@creepingjesus5106]

I really liked the Audi that crashed anyway, it's an interesting car. So it gets my vote, my sympathies to driver and team, and hope it will live again.

[@KyleKnoblauch]

Rupert!!! All day every day! 😎

Liked the placement of the radar gun. Interesting to get some mid corner speed data like that.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Gotta mix it up ;) There was a second Speed Gun spot but batteries didn´t agree on that day...

[@taintfactree3259]

That bi turbo porsche is wicked. Seen previous videos of that thing pulling wheelies.

[@tommasomartinelli1891]

That’s an ex-official Audi A4 STW, stripped of the original na engine and with a custom built turbo unit shoved in? If so, that was a veeeeery expensive crash. Glad to see the driver’s ok though.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Not far from the truth...

[@aikumaDK]

Rupert Schwaiger is the 70-something race driver who was featured in a video not long ago, doing wheelies in his Porsche, right? Also, Audi's plate said "no limits" - hopefully the rebuild will have "some limits" on the plate 🙃

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Yes it is. Rupert is going strong into his 75th Birthday, flat-out ;)

[@quigonjay9]

We knew the Impreza was going to be fast from the shake down test featured on HillClimbFans a few weeks back but that is a very impressive first outing (if indeed it is its first outing)

[@HillClimbMonsters]

It was its first outing ;) Pretty successful too...

Shame about the Audi , luckily it wasn’t too badly damaged along with the driver ….. it looked rapid. Doesn’t beat Hammonds spectacular fail of epic proportions. 😂

Time shown is the of the single run each car was doing at that moment. Time posted is official Time at the end of the race with 2 fastest runs of the day combined.
