Hillclimbing

Hillclimbing (also known as hill climbing, speed hillclimbing or speed hill climbing) is a branch of motorsport in which drivers compete against the clock to complete an uphill course.

United States

Most American hillclimbs take place on long mountain courses, and in many cases spectators are either banned or heavily restricted for safety or insurance reasons. The most famous hillclimb in the US is that held at Pikes Peak, Colorado. This event has been entered by many internationally renowned drivers, perhaps most famously world rally champion Ari Vatanen.
