The Landshaag – St. Martin is a motorcycle - mountain race , which is held annually in April from MSC Rottenegg.

procedure

The hill climb was held for the first time in 1979. Due to the speeds achieved, it is considered to be the fastest motorcycle hill climb in Europe.

The start is in numerous classes such as superbike , superstock, sidecar , supermoto and historic motorcycles . In 2015, more than 250 starters took part in the race.

Before the race, the training runs are carried out on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, followed by the race on Sunday afternoon. Each starter drives two races, the times are then added to the evaluation. Some drivers use the opportunity to participate in two different classes. So they drive 4 races.

Depending on the class, the races are currently part of different championships:

  • FIM Europe European Mountain Championship for motorcycles.
  • Austrian motorcycle mountain racing state championship
  • RACER Supermoto Cup
  • OSK Cup for historic racing motorcycles

When the weather is good, the race is regularly attended by more than 13,000 spectators.

Racetrack

The race track is a section of the L1507 state road between Landshaag and St. Martin im Mühlkreis , which is closed for training and races on two days.

The route is 3620 m long, with a height difference of 230 m being overcome.

The start and the first bends are still in the local area of ​​Landshaag, followed by a straight section of the route where up to 260 km / h can be achieved despite the incline. After 1.1 km the route leads through an approximately 600 m long forest with a combination of curves at the beginning, the slowest section of the race. Then the route becomes flat, after a fast left turn (the so-called house curve) there is a section where the fastest drivers can now reach over 300 km / h. Afterwards the gradient increases again, after a right and a left curve the home straight follows, where again around 260 km / h is reached.
