Audi R8 Hillclimb Video

[Louis-Alain Richard]

>From what I can read at the start "... ion PACA", it means that this is a
French hillclimb, probably in PACA region (Provence-Alpes-Cote_d'Azur) which
is in the south of France. And the most famous of them all is the
"Championnat de France de la montagne". 

Then, armed with these assumptions, a quick Google search revealed this :

The car is a Norma with a BMW 3L engine, which confirms all the preceding
postings !!! Not an Audi, and a 6 cylinder engine.

By the way, the first video on the left (La Sainte-Beaume 2005) is this very
same video we are talking here. 

This reminds me this personal story. In 2002, visiting France for the first
time, I did this exact route (in a 1600cc 100hp Clio) but going downhill...
Wow !, I still rank this ride as one of the nicest I did in my life. La
Sainte-Beaume is a mountain in the shape of a loaf of bread. Flat at the
top, with steep tortuous roads at each end. Clearly, a very challenging
road.
