2024 was a disappointing season for six-time Swiss Hill Climb Champion and 2023 overall Osnabrück winner Marcel Steiner, with only two race appearances and no notable results.

Now, Steiner has moved on from the LobArt and found a promising replacement: a Nova Proto NP01 – very nearly the same model used since 2024 by reigning Swiss champion Robin Faustini and in 2025 by Joël Volluz. Steiner’s version features the latest updates. Its aerodynamics are closest to those of Volluz’s car, and both have a central driving position.

Steiner‘s car is currently with engine partner Helftec Engineering, where his well-proven Honda-Helftec turbo engine is being installed. Steiner plans to return to the Swiss hill climb championship from mid-June and is very much looking to the 57th Int. Hill Climb Race Osnabrück in early August.
