Virginia City Hillclimb
Thrill-seekers and automotive enthusiasts flock to Nevada each fall for the Virginia City Hillclimb, a legacy motorsport event tracing its roots back to 1964. Over one high-speed weekend, drivers tackle a challenging 5.2‑mile, 21‑turn uphill time trial on State Route 341, scaling from roughly 5,000 to 6,200 feet.
Rising above the Comstock, the Virginia City Hillclimb challenges driver and machine alike on a legendary ascent through mountain curves.
Open to all street-legal, registered, and insured sports cars, the Virginia City Hillclimb is organized by the volunteer-led Ferrari Club of America Southwest Region. Unlike many hill climbs, this one features a return route. That means drivers can line up and race again 10–15 times each day, offering enthusiasts plenty of chances to improve their times (or just enjoy the rush). Following strict safety protocols, participants push their machines and their own limits, while spectators can soak in a high-energy, authentic racing atmosphere.
Tech inspections, a full run schedule, and timing results are made public ahead of the event. Drivers are encouraged to pre-register on the official website. Whether you’re behind the wheel or lining the roadways, the Hillclimb experience unites performance, history, and energy for one unforgettable experience.
