Some pics of a hillclimb race held nearby
 

Hi....

I opened this new section according to the chance that i had to watch a hillclimb race held nearby yesterday.

Although the pics dont describe the gorgeous usual supercars shown in this section, i saw interesting to add some cars which take part in hillclimb races in here, since 100 cars took part in this race, some of them have a very high level of modifications, whereas others are great fun to drive....there you go the bunch of cars, accompanied with some description of them

Lets start with the stars of the hillclimb race in terms of performances...the two latest specs formula 3000 that take part in the hillclimbs nearby...(about 550bhp, 480kg, and sequential gearbox)

Hope you enjoyed with the pics.....

nice pics. theres this one blue and yellow BMW that is litraly sideways. did he make it around the bend?

very nice pics!! thanks for sharing.
take it easy, Micah

I didn't have knowledge of this kind of race untill Dani_d_mas posted some pics. That's awesome. Nice pics, thanks a lot Capri. :wink:

The driver of the 325i in question just arrived too late and too quick to the bend, and he was forced to spin the car...but it didnt matter to him...he just fully accelerated the car, create some slides till the car gets the straight direction, and meanwhile the driver was having some smile

No problem at all...the race in question is a special race since everyone wants to take part in this race due to the roads characteristics....its very techical and it has many and different bends.....thats why the number of drivers in this race was 100...normally the average of cars in the basque champioship is about 70....and its one of the most beautiful races to see nearby as well...ill try to get some pics about the road from the top of it

good spot and lovely pictures. I love the hill climbs

Great pictures, thanks man. I love the sideways action of some of the cars. :D
