Hillclimb prepared race cars are highly-strung beasts. Take the temperament of a rally car, with it’s turbocharged, high-revving mill and gunfire-like anti-lag, hook it up to deep gears and as much rubber as you deem necessary, and hang the hell on. Tight, curving courses are no match for the automotive equivalent of a tasmanian devil. It’s all noise, all grip, and all speed from the moment the clutch is dropped until the finish line. Like rally racing, it’s difficult to actively watch a hillclimb, but hearing the noise as the cars make their charge up the course is something else entirely.

From a Ford RS200 built for Pikes Peak to the hellish V8 scream of a BMW, it’s here. It’s almost symphonic…right up until the anti-lag barks out another burp of flame.
