Hill Climb is an exhilarating speed event where a single car and driver race up a defined uphill winding course from a standing start, competing against the clock. The Collingrove Hillclimb features a 750-metre track, and racing has been held at this iconic venue since 1952. Cars are classified into categories based on their performance capabilities, ensuring that vehicles with similar potential race against each other. However, the true challenge lies in the individual contest, where each driver aims to improve their personal best time—pitting the hill and the clock against the car and the driver. Competitors often say hill climbing is the best fun you can have while sitting down with a seat belt on!

Each year, the event features several key competitions, including the four-round Collingrove Challenge Trophy, the four-round Winter Cup series, two Come & Try days for newcomers, and the prestigious South Australian Hillclimb Championship. We also host the Australian Hillclimb Championship when South Australia is allocated the rotation.

In October, we celebrate the past with the Barossa Vintage Collingrove, where vintage cars and their drivers take to the hill in a spectacular display of historic automobiles.

In 2020, we introduced an additional Season Finale Event, adding even more excitement to the calendar.
