Grossglockner High Alpine Road Vintage Race Car Hill Climb inc 6 liter V16 Auto Union Bergrennwagen

The Grossglockner Grand Prix is a great assortment of cars rarely seen anywhere and to see them race up the highest mountain in Austria on a snow flanked, steep winding road is something else.

Seeing these machines fighting gravity against the high-alpine backdrop makes circuit racing seem so tame by comparison.

There was even a supercharged 6.0-liter V16-powered Auto Union Type-C Bergrennwagen (hill racer) on the course (No 83).

In 1938, it clocked the fastest time up the mountain pass.
