RACE: Rendezvous am kleinen Klausen (08.09.2024)

After 2021, it is time for another issue of the “Rendezvous am kleinen Klausen” memorial hillclimb race in Schaffhausen. The race is named after the famous “Klausenrennen” at the Klausenpass in the swiss alps.
The memorial race takes place every three years in the rural villages of Bibern, Opfertshofen and Altdorf

In History, the “kleiner klausen” was named the “Small brother” of the Klausenrennen due to it’s scenic and difficult roads to drive and made it a quite legendary race on the Calendar.

UPDATE: I just got confirmed that Jerome (in his 510) and Claude (in his hillclimb 240Z) from zcarracingteam will attend the event too with their cars:
While you won’t find many Japanese cars there, you can see a lot of Pre-war, other historic and vintage cars, olds race cars and race bikes of any brand or make. The athmosphere was super laid-back last time with a lot of side-activities, good food, show-laps, race-taxi, historic Postauto bus transportation between the locations, etc
There was also a lot of cars on display only and great showlaps. Due to the fact that the cars in the Parc Fermeé don’t need to return on the same road back to the start line, there are no breaks inbetween the different categories, but there is constant action, which makes it quite unique, compared to other hillclimbs.
Also on saturday, there is a Warm-up rallye in the whole area with all the cars that like to attend. So if you’re in the area, you will see plenty of rare and cool cars from the past cruising around the villages and cities nearby that evening.
It’s all less about competition, but really more about having a good time and celebrating Automtotive culture. Many drivers and their spouses come dressed in period correct clothing and accessories and it’s all a lot of fun with plenty of good spots to look at the cars in action and on display.
Here’s a little report and plenty of pictures from when i attended the event in 2021
