Tobias Santer drives one of the most spectacular units of the Classic Golf Mk1 in HillClimb Racing. Tuned by Minichberger, it is nowadays powered by a dry sumped 2.0L Naturally Aspirated powerplant built from a VW Touring Car Block and Suzuki Hayabusa Engine Head, capable of 307Hp/9.800Rpm, to move the lightweight hatchback, tipping the scales at 790Kg (enforced by the rulebook and still having to use ballast!!). For those better informed about European Hillclimbing, theý´ll recognize the similarities to the mythic Golf Mk1 of Egidio Pisano, and that´s because they are essentially the same builds underneath. With that being one of the most decorated Hillclimb machines in Europe and arguably one of the Top FWD Monsters in the Sport, specially in NA form. Here it can be seen in all its glory both inside and outside on our race in Skradin, Bongo HillClimb Monsters 2025. And you can watch how far a simple, classic car like the Golf Mk1 can be developed on Hillclimb Racing featuring high end solutions like the most modern KW 3 Suspension system or a paddle-operated Sadev 6 speed Sequential Gearbox with Auto-Blip incorporated in order to automatically rev-match when downshifting among some other incredible details which became the usual standard for the incredibly well built Monsters by Minichberger Motorsport.
