Swiss slalom championship
The Swiss Slalom Championship has been held since 1980. Up to and including 2003 this championship was held as a cup.
General
The aim of the auto slalom is to complete a course marked out with pylons in the shortest possible time. Anyone who knocks over a pylon receives a time penalty. As in hill climbs or rallies, the drivers start one after the other, i.e. at different times, and in different classes. Compared to other motorsport categories, the costs of slalom are limited. Therefore, this category is considered the ideal entry-level class.
Slaloms in Switzerland
Slalom championships are particularly popular in German-speaking countries. The first championship in this discipline was held in Switzerland in 1980 - back then as a cup, since the beginning of 2004 as an official championship. The current calendar includes eight races. These all take place on former military airfields or army bases. Interlaken (on the CH calendar since 1997), Frauenfeld (on the CH calendar since 2000), Bière (first race in 1966), Bure (the 50th edition was celebrated in 2019), Chamblon (first race in 1982), Romont / Drognens (first Race 1971) and Ambri (since 2010 on the Swiss calendar).
Other well-known venues were Lignières , Saanen , Sion and Bürglen .
Regulations
The Swiss Slalom Championship is currently divided into three groups. Within these groups there are graduations in engine capacity . The events are held in two runs, whereby only the time of the better run is counted. The exact regulations can be found at Auto Sport Schweiz , the responsible association, on its homepage.
In each race, the points are allocated for each group / division according to the table below:
| 1st rank | 20 points |
| 2nd rank | 15 points |
| 3rd rank | 12 points |
| 4th rank | 10 points |
| 5th rank | 8 points |
| 6th rank | 6 points |
| 7th rank | 4 points |
| 8th rank | 3 points |
| 9th rank | 2 points |
From rank 10 there is one point for each participant.
If a division consists of less than 5 vehicles registered, accepted and started for the training run, only half the points will be allocated. In order to be considered in the final classification, a driver must have at least three classifications in events that count for this championship.
