In just over a week the Spanish Hillclimb Championship begins its 2018 season. The championship starts with its longest hillclimb of the year: the Subida a Estepona – Peñas Blancas. Entries are still open for a couple of days and the list will be updated as soon as possible. At the moment 44 drivers have entered. Some interesting observations can be made already based on this list.
Category I will see a battle for victory between Javier Villa and Joseba Iraola. At the Erauskin Hillclimb last december Villa took a convincing victory over his new rival. Third driver in this class is Manuel Aviles. The youngster is entered in an identical BRC BR53 as Villa.
In Category II stalwarts Arkaitz Ordoki and Garikoitz Flores have entered in their proven BRC B-49s. Strong competition is expected from Christian Broberg in the new Silver Car S3 and Edgar Montella in his Speed Car GTR.
In Category III reigning champion José Antonio Aznar is not yet spotted on the entrylist. Two other GT-drivers are already entered, José Antonio Lopez-Fombona and Humberto Janssens. An outsider for victory could be Gerard De La Casa.
