Hillclimbing in Italy became famous in the 1970s, early 1980s, between 19 and at the end of the 2000s, especially in the last two periods thanks to TV services, magazines and live Internet commentaries. In the Italian championship, also known as the Campionato Italiano Velocità Montagna, there are the longest and most challenging hillclimbs like Trento-Bondone, Coppa Bruno Carotti (the Italian races in FIA European Hill Climb Championship), Pedavena-Croce d'Aune, Monte Erice and Verzegnis-Sella Chianzutan, which are also the most known. The fourth International Schauinsland hillclimb at Freiburg was held on August 5, 1928: "A car made the fastest time of the day, Heusser's Bugatti putting up 74.009 km/h, the fastest motorcycle being Stegmann's DKW at 69.6 km/h." Caracciola (Mercedes) won the over two-litre racing car class.
Three German venues: Freiburg-Schauinsland, Rossfeld (near Berchtesgaden), Osnabrück. The best-known Course de Côte are Mont Ventoux and Mont-Dore. Notable champions from this period include Pierre Maublanc (19), Daniel Rouveyran (1969), Hervé Bayard (1970) and Jimmy Mieusset (1971, 1972, 19). The French hill climb championship, or Championnat de France de la Montagne, has been one of the most competitive of the European national series, attracting many new F2 and 2-litre sports cars during the 1970s and early 1980s. Hillclimbing is also relevant to motorcycle sport the governing body is the National Hill Climb Association.

These short courses are more akin to uphill sprints – and almost always take under one minute for the fastest drivers to complete.
