New FIA event in hill climb

An outstanding event for the hill climb heroes

During the last meeting of the World Motor Sport Council (28 June 2013), the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) approved the creation of a totally new hill climb event, the "FIA HILL CLIMB MASTERS". At the end of each season, this FIA international competition, run over a single event, will bring together the best hill climb drivers internationally. The first edition is scheduled for the autumn of 2014.

Clash of champions, clash of nations

This "FIA HILL CLIMB MASTERS" is bound to become the big annual gathering and the consecration of the winners of the national (recognised by the ASNs) and FIA international hill climb championships. There will be two classifications: an individual classification and a Nations Cup, where the winners will be awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. The drivers will be assessed on their performance in terms of sheer speed, and the national teams on the basis of a regularity index.

A high point for the discipline

This "FIA HILL CLIMB MASTERS" will be an opportunity to enhance the image of hill climb in the eyes of the general public and of the media through an event that is of course sporting, but also celebratory and federative. In addition to bringing together a truly international, quality field, the "Masters" will be a promotional showcase for a demanding and spectacular discipline which is both financially accessible for drivers and highly attractive in terms of the variety of cars taking part.
