The final round of the 2025 European Hillclimb Championship (EHC) was eagerly awaited. The title decisions were still to be made, and there were a few surprises at the end. In the touring car class, there was no getting past O'Play from Italy this year. The experienced touring car driver and regular participant in the EHC Championship confidently prevailed over his competitors Penido Lopez Luis Antonio (Spain) and Jurisic Matija (Croatia). In the sports car field, Christian Merli (ITA) pulled a class change out of his hat in the final race, beating his Italian compatriot Fausto Bormolini at the very last moment. Kevin Petit from France was also consistently at the top of the overall standings at the start of the season and secured a well-deserved third place in the end.
Just before the classic Trento Bondone/ITA on 8 June 2026, the Italian drivers have taken the lead in the European Hill Climb Championship. Ecce Homo/CZE once again ensured that there were some surprising results, resulting in various changes to the overall classification. The previous leader, Frenchman Kevin Petit, was displaced at the top of the intermediate standings by multiple European champion Christian Merli/ITA. Between Merli and Petit, very experienced Fausto Bormolini also took 2nd place. There was a merger at the top of the touring car standings, with O'Play/ITA leading the way ahead of the well-performing Spaniard Luis Antonio Penido Lopez and Igor Stefanovski/MKD.
