    Lots of cool iron in this one. A good bit of red mist, too. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=570_1322647507

    Lots of nice iron, twisted and destroyed.

    Note to self, don't enter a hillclimb, and don't use KW suspension on my bmw.

    Good stuff but painful to watch all those nice cars get wrecked.

    All the same race? That's a lot of crashed cars for one event.

    I thought Switzerland banned motorsport in 1955...

    anyone?

    What an amazing collection of cars.

    I love the sound the Camaro and Corvette made compared to all of the European cars.

    The GT-R into a tree was hard to watch.

    The BMW M3 is awesome! Every year, every model.

    The Mitsu EVO is also awesome.

    OK I have been a Opel Manta fan for a while, but I am switching over to the Kadett team. Did the US get any of the Opel Kadett C cars? How about in Isuzu or other form?

    It's going to be a loooooong off-season.

    They need subtitles for the automotive impaired. I don't think I recognized half of those, though some did look really mean out there.

    I had the feeling that KW was a sponsor, not that all the cars that crashed had KW?

    KW is HUGE in Europe. Very good quality stuff, I highly doubt they had anything to do with all the accidents.

    I didn't have a look at that, but the dialect the announcers are speaking is definitely Swiss. Having grown up on the Swiss border and with my mum living in Switzerland it's pretty well known to me...

    Actually, a quick check of the German Wikipedia produced a list of current hillclimbs in Switzerland itself.
