Round Five: The Magic of La Roche-en-Ardenne

The Hillclimbing.org team recently traveled to La Roche-en-Ardenne for round five of the Belgian Hillclimb Championship. This iconic event takes place in the Ardennes region on a thrilling 5.5 kilometer course.

Known for its ultra fast sections and early morning sudden sun blind spots due to the road running through a forest, the track pushes drivers to their limits. Average speeds from a standing start for the fast guys of over 110mph this is not for the faint hearted.

The entire village rallies behind the race, with volunteers ensuring smooth marshalling, timing, and crowd support, making it a truly special, community-powered event.
