Video of the Week: F2 Onboard at the Arosa Hillclimb

The Arosa Hillclimb is small event held in Switzerland that I hadn't heard of til recently. This year will be its 8th running. There are quite a few onboard videos popping up, showing the breathtaking scenery and challenging curves that make me really want to visit there someday.

Here we have a Brabham F2 car being driven up the 7.8km hill. The driving is pretty conservative, but who cares?  The car, combined with the twisting country road lined with stone walls and wooden fences make it feel like a real step back in time.

Have you considered competing in New England hill climbs? As I understand it, until you start beating the "break out time" for the hill, you don't need anything more than a helmet and a basic auto-x type safety check.

awesome video. thank you for sharing. in defense of that "conservative" driver, those tires didn't seem to provide much grip!

Charlie, I agree. I don't think he's a bad driver. It just seems he isn't intimately acquainted with the course so he's holding back a little. And yes, the car seems to have understeer.
