Despite the difficult planning phase in these extraordinary times, the organizers of the Arosa ClassicCar Hill Climb, which took place from 4 to 6 September 2020, can look back on a very successful event. Only 1000 people were allowed in the core zone this year. This included drivers, accompanying persons, VIPs, helpers and the organizing committee. Of course, the spectators were not to be missed. They enjoyed the event from a safe distance at the side of the track and created a great atmosphere.

Kick-off in perfect conditions

The conditions were almost perfect on Friday. Sunshine and a bright blue sky created a great atmosphere for the riders, who completed the two training runs with great concentration and enjoyment.

First race day without any major accidents and plenty of full throttle

First things first - the races were completed without any major incidents. One accident, which fortunately only resulted in bodywork damage, occurred before the lunch break. As a result, the track was closed for a good hour due to an oil leak. Once the track was clean again, the races were able to continue. The weather was also at its best on Saturday, with temperatures peaking at around 27 degrees.

The organizers' call to spectators to follow the event from the sidelines instead of the grandstands in the finish area was heeded. Many spectators enjoyed the race action in their camping chairs, on foot or simply on picnic blankets in the grass in glorious weather. The protective concept against corona was thus successfully implemented.

Less sunshine but just as much racing action on Sunday

Although there was a little less sunshine on Sunday, there was still plenty of racing action, which naturally delighted the spectators. One of the highlights of the second day of racing was the Corso of the locals. This gave classic car owners from the region the opportunity to drive their treasures up the mountain from Langwies to Arosa themselves along the closed-off route.

The winners of the two "premier classes" Competition and Competition Formula were Florian Feustel in the Porsche 911 IROC RSR (Competition) and Thomas Amweg in the Martini-BMW MK 50 03 (Competition Formula).

The latter also set the fastest time of the weekend. Amweg Junior covered the distance from Langwies to Arosa in 4:06.47, a time only just slower than last year's course record. Hans Orsatti was the winner of the Classic Trophy regularity category, André Treina of the Sport Trophy regularity category. The women's prize went to Sue Darbyshire from Great Britain, who set the fastest time.

The atmosphere was good, the action on the course was electrifying, the weather was glorious and the protective measures were adhered to. Although the organizers were initially met with a great deal of scepticism, they must now be congratulated for their courage and great organization. This is how classic car events work in Corona times. That's a good thing!
