Here's a video fully focused on Bernina Gran Turismo, an event born in 2014 with the aim of keep the memory of the legendary Bernina hillclimb race of 1929 and 1930 alive, which is held on the beautiful Bernina Pass in Switzerland. Back to those years this competition was part of the International St. Moritz Automobile Week, which consisted of a rally, the kilometer race, a skill race, a concours d'elegance and, as a conclusion, the hillclimb race. Since 2021 BGT's organizers decided to celebrate the whole International St. Moritz Automobile Week of those two years with a selection of events which recalled the original ones.
Bernina Gran Turismo takes place on a section of the original route specifically closed to traffic, with the hilclimb course starting from La Rösa (1,871 m above sea level) and ending up on the actual Bernina Pass (2,328 m) after a total of 5.9 km.
Participants can either register for the event in a competitive form or decide to participate in the regularity race, where the ranking is stipulated based on who manages to better respect the speed average set by organizers. There where also few cars which did some demo runs such as the yellow Bugatti Divo, the Gumpert Apollo S and the two De Tomaso P72 prototypes. Last but not least at the end of each heat, a group of historic motorcycles did a very loud parade up the hill.
