As autumn reaches full strength the Hill climb championship returns to the outskirts of Brasov. As the leaves gently fall, Rasnov a town 20 Km away from Brasov is host to the 4 Km long stage. In spite of the cold the spectators were in full strength lining the narrow twisty road.
As with any hill climb event in Romania perhaps the best thing about is the sheer variety of machines.
From single seaters to hatchbacks they are all flying millimeters away from the bushes.
Where else can you see a bike powered single seater being followed by a Ferrari 458?
Even the vintage iron try their best to keep up with the modern machinery.
Although many years have passed since its heyday the Mini is still legendary fast.
The stage may be short but the drivers are pushing it and sometimes the car just gives up...
This is what happens when one of your con-rods takes a walk, oil, oil everywhere. Here the rally support crew is trying to wash it off as this is one of the fast and tricky corners.
But what people come to see are the hill climb monsters. With the anti-lag popping one of the fastest 4WD cars is attacking a sharp bend.
Rather unsurprisingly the fastest RWD car was this Ferrari 458.
And a mere 9 seconds away was a FWD golf.
As autumn nears its climax the racing season comes to a close.
What a great year this was!
