There was a time when hill-climb racing was as popular as the most famous circuit, endurance and Formula 1 races.
The European Mountain Championship (EBM) brought tens of thousands of people to spectacular tracks.
This book is the first to tell its story, from its rebirth after the Second World War in 1957 to 1969, with a unique set of photographs that give a full idea of the breathtaking pursuits in the mountains.
After a foreword by Austrian automotive historian Martin Pfundner, there are 22 portraits of drivers who have played an important role in this particular branch of motor sport.
The European Mountain Championship from 1957 to 1969 is then examined season by season, with descriptions of the competition cars of those years.
Attention is not only given to Porsche, but also to other marques such as Ferrari, Abarth, Maserati and Borgward, although the focus is on the Stuttgart company with the types 550A, 718-1500, 718 RS 60/61 and 718 W-RS Spyder, 904 GTS, Elva-Porsche, 904-8 Bergspyder, 906-8 Ollon-Villars Bergspyder, Carrera 6, 910-8 Bergspyder and 909.
The text is completed by interviews with Hans Herrmann and Eberhard Mahle and an extensive section dedicated to the different tracks and results.
A unique book that fills a gap in any motorsport library.
