The Alliance of Organisers looks back on the weekend of 6 to 8 November 2026 with great joy. The official awards ceremony for the 2026 FIA European Hill Climb Championship took place in Arriondas (Asturias), Spain. It was a thoroughly successful and emotional event that provided a fitting conclusion to a spectacular motorsport season.
The entire Alliance extends its special thanks to Aladino Martínez, Mariana Álvarez Medriano, and their fantastic team. Thanks to their excellent organisation, tireless dedication, and warm Asturian hospitality, this gala became an absolute highlight for drivers, teams, and officials.
