Flying Skoda III / Létajicí Škoda III

in #sportsphotography6 years ago

Hillclimb races in cars are very specific discipline, which dates back to the very beginning of the automobile. It's about getting your car on top of the hill in the shortest possible time. This makes the rules much more relaxed than other forms of motor sport. Of course, cars are divided into categories according to performance and different adjustments. But thanks to these rules, you can see real monsters on the hills. They have 650+ horses, all-wheel drive and weighing around 1000kg. As with the car on my photo. These cars can be seen in the European Hillclimb Championship, which takes place on hills across Europe. One of the races is also held in the Czech Republic in Šternberk. This race has a long tradition and is held regularly at the end of spring.

Závody do vrchu v automobilech jsou hodně specifická disciplína, jejíž historie sahá do úplných začátků automobilismu. Jde o to dostat svůj vůz na vrchol kopce v co nejkratším možném čase. Díky tomu jsou pravidla daleko volnější než u jiných forem motorsportu. Samozřejmě jsou auta rozdělena do kategorií podle výkonu a různých úprav. Ale díky těmto pravidlům můžete vidět na kopcích opravdová monstra, která mají třeba 650+ koní, pohon všech kol a váhou kolem 1000 kg. Jako je tomu v případě auta na mojí fotografii. Tyto auta jsou k vidění v Evropském šampionátu závodů do vrchu, který se koná na kopcích po celé Evropě. Jedním z podniků se koná i v České republice ve městě Šternberk. Tento závod má dlouholetou tradici a pravidelně se koná na konci jara.

Great shot!

I didn't know about these hillclimb racing events yet but it sounds like they are pretty cool 😀

In some countries, these events are considered to be the largest motor racing competition in the country. For the year-long race, the race calendar has changed a bit and there is no race in Luxembourg, the race in Germany is on a new track. And here's the random video from youtube, for an idea.
