The german hillclimb season had started off again, two weeks ago in Eschdorf, Luxemburg. The wheather was great, the beer was cold and the tarmac hot. It had almost been half a year since the last bergcup race so I had really been looking forward to it. Eschdorf was a true picturesque seight, green meadows with cows and a road winding up the hills. In the distance we could hear gruppe H starting their symphony of 10.000+rpm violins.

 

 

Gruppe H was followed by the modern divisions and then the formula classes were driven. Meanwhile the sun had allready started burning our delicate skins so we decided to take a look in the paddocks. The paddock is freely accesssible with bergcup and you are able to look around everywhere as long as you don't disturb anything. A great opportunity to take a look at the techniques used to get these cars faster under a hobby budget.

 

 

 

The rest of the season will be driven in Germany and Austria more information about the race dates can be found on berg-cup.de and the calendar on this site Make sure you don't miss it!
