In 10 days the only hillclimb in Luxembourg takes place near the small town of Eschdorf. This year marks the 30th edition of the European Hill Race. Almost 190 drivers have entered this year. The race counts towards the national championship and also the German Hillclimb Championship and the Berg-Cup.
Eric Berguerand is still chasing his first overall victory in Eschdorf. He leads the singleseater field in his familiar Lola FA99 Cosworth. There are four other drivers entered in the E2-SS class. Tommy Rollinger makes a comeback in his Osella FA30. His countryman Kenny Reding will make his debut in the ex-Demuth G-Force Mugen. Robin Faustini will make his first appearance in his new Reynard K01 Nippon which was formerly driven by Geoffrey Schatz.
More competition is found in the sportscars. 10 drivers have entered the top E2-SC 3000 class. Sébastien Petit won the first round of the European Championship two weeks ago. He is aiming for his first victory in Eschdorf. Jelle De Coninck returns with his Norma M20 FC Turbo to defend his 2017 crown. Swiss champion Marcel Steiner is always a favourite for victory. Former Luxembourg champion Guy Demuth will debut his new Norma M20 FC sportscar in Eschdorf. Also discovering his new machine next week is Benjamin Vielmi. It will be interesting to see how his Osella Pa27 powered by an Megatron turbo engine will fare.
There will also be plenty of spectacular touringcars present. From the Berg-Cup are Herbert Stolz, Norbert Handa and Holger Hovemann are just a few names to mention. From Switzerland Ronnie Bratschi, Thomas Kessler, Romeo Nüssli and Frederic Neff are favourites for victory. For France there is Nicolas Werver and Yannick and Christophe Poinsignon.
