BMW 320 Gruppe II Racing 2.0 liter 6-cylinder on a Swiss hillclimb
Get ready for a high revving, ear blasting ride up a “Bergrennen” (hillclimb) in a 1977 BMW 320 Gruppe II spec hillclimb race car. Powered by a custom screaming 2.0 liter 6-cylinder with slide valve fuel injection this BIMMER rocks. The hillclimb takes place in the Alps and races up the Oberhallau in Schaffenhausen, Switzerland. This isn’t a Green Mountain Chapter members BMW, but all the green on the hillclimb sure looks the part for us! Ok, so the Swiss hillclimb is wider and smoother than our roads, but ti still gives you a great idea.

In fact, New England (and mostly Vermont) has a great hillclimb racing series up ski resort access roads (like Ascutney, Okemo and Burke Mountain) similar to this Swiss bergrennen. See www.hillclimb.org for more info.
