Experience the roar of historic engines and the thrill of a bygone era at the Hill Climb Swabian Alb 2026! This event revives the legendary Neuffener Steige hill climb, offering a spectacular display of classic racing cars on a challenging 4.2-kilometer track. It's a journey back in time, celebrating motorsport heritage rather than focusing on pure speed.
Prepare to be transported to the golden age of racing as historic machines tackle the 18 bends and 280 meters of altitude gain on the Neuffener Steige. This is not a competition for the fastest times, but a carefully curated presentation drive showcasing iconic vehicles and their rich motorsport history. The event aims to evoke fond memories for long-time fans and introduce new generations to the magic of classic racing. Visitors can expect to see a maximum of 100 drivers, with a special focus on cars from 1960 to 1985 that have a significant connection to the Neuffener Bergrennen or motorsport in general. Keep an eye out for legendary machines like a Porsche 904, the famous "Rote Sau" from Mercedes-Benz, and a Formula 3 car once piloted by Michael Schumacher. The heart of the event will be in Neuffen's town center, where four paddocks will be set up, offering free public access to get up close with the cars and chat with motorsport experts.
