The FIA European Hill Climb Championship (FIA EHC) is an FIA-run motorsport competition held across Europe on closed public road courses. Unlike circuit racing, each driver competes alone, starting from a point at the base of a mountain and reaching a finish point near the summit. The European Championship allows single-seater cars, open-cockpit sports prototypes, and touring cars with varying degrees of technical preparation. 2021 Calendar Groups and classes since 2020 Since 2020 - Performance Factor European Hill Climb Champions 1957–2019 For the two categories, the FIA awards the titles: European Hill Climb Champion for Production Cars European Hill Climb Champion for Competition Cars Additionally, the first driver of the first group to which the European Champion does not belong, will be declared: Winner of the FIA Hill Climb Trophy for Production Cars Winner of the FIA Hill Climb Trophy for Competition Cars 1930s The first European Hill Climbing Championship was contested between 1930 and 1933, under the aegis of the Association Internationale des Automobile Clubs Reconnus (AIACR), the predecessor of the FIA.
