Every year, one of the most beautiful and challenging mountain races in Europe takes place in the mountains of beautiful Graubünden, in Arosa to be precise. It is no coincidence that the approximately 7.6 km long route is also known as the "Nürburgring of the Alps", with 76 bends and a 422 meter difference in altitude from start to finish, as well as a unique downhill section, making it a challenge for drivers and equipment.

Vehicles built between 1.1.1905 and 31.12.1986 or 1990 for the IC period (Group C and IMSA, 1982 - 1990) are eligible for the Arosa ClassicCar. The FIA rules apply to licensed drivers in terms of speed and to others in terms of regularity.

As in previous years, the event will start with car scrutineering on Thursday (paddock at the Obersee parking lot), followed by a corso through the village on Thursday evening and two practice and two race runs on Friday to Sunday, the latter forming the Weisshorn Trophy on Saturday and the Arosa Grand Prix on Sunday.

An attractive field of vehicles can be expected; several dozen participants had to be turned away for capacity reasons. In particular, a group of participants from England, all with pre-war models, is likely to attract the attention of many spectators. There will be several MGs and Alfa Romeos at the start, as well as a Talbot-Lago and an original Morgan Super Aero with three wheels. The oldest car at this year's Arosa ClassicCar will be a La France Type 12 from 1917.

The two Porsche 550A Spyders and the 718W-RS Spyder, which will be driven by well-known rally driver Björn Waaldegard and Klaus Bischof , are sure to be among the attractions. Cab rides can even be booked here.

Even the weather seems to be kind to the event, with the weather forecasters predicting largely dry and warm weather.

Further information can be found on the Arosa ClassicCar hill climb website.

Our gallery shows impressions from previous years as well as pictures of the two Porsche racing cars (and their sister cars).
