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.
Spanish sympathiser Joseba Iraola Lanzagorta has won his home race in Spain at the “Subida al Fito” on 18/05/2025. The Spaniard came out on top in the overall classification ahead of Christian Merli (ITA) and Kevin Petit (FRA). The battle at the top of the racing sports cars is extremely varied this year, with three different winners from three different countries taking the top spot. In the touring car category, Grzegorz Rozalski (POL) came out on top ahead of Igor Stefanovski (MKD) and Javier Villa Garcia (ESP).
At the second event of the European Hill Climb Championship 2025 at the « Grossen Bergpreis von Österreich» on the Rechberg, Frenchman Kevin Petit won for the second time this year. He came out on top in the scratch ranking ahead of Christian Merli/ITA and Joseba Iraola Lanzagorta/ESP. In the touring car category, Swiss driver Reto Meisel won ahead of Dan Michl (CZE) and Igor Stefanovski (MKD).
