2026 Glasbach Race: Debut of the New Ruhla Chronograph
Since 2024, the Pointtec brand Ruhla has been a sponsor of the “ADAC Glasbach” hill climb, which has been a mainstay of international motorsports for decades.
The race took place on June 13 and 14, 2026, on one of Europe’s most modern hill climb courses. On the historic course between Steinbach and Glasbachstein in the Thuringian Forest, the participants in the FIA European Hill Climb Championship once again delivered thrilling motorsport action and captivated numerous spectators.
