Thanks to the new technical regulations associated with the “Performance Factor” concept (link

), the field of Category 1 cars (“closed” cars) in the FIA European Hill Climb Championship will be significantly more varied as from 2020. Category 1, which under the existing system is limited to Group N, A, S20 and GT3 cars, will henceforth be able to welcome cars from multiple and varied backgrounds. These cars will be divided up into different classes according to their Pf value, which is calculated online on www.fiaperformancefactor.com and declared to the organiser by the drivers when submitting their entry for the 2020 events. From being fairly restrictive, the future Category 1 will now become resolutely “Open”! The FIA European Hill Climb Championship is thus preparing to welcome all GT cars and almost all forms of touring cars, from DTM to virtually original four-door saloons used in certain single-make cups, and all types in between such as WRC, TCR, former Super Touring Cars, or “Berg-Monsters” specific to hill climb.
