Top French driver Sébastien Petit stood at the top of the podium in the FIA European Hill Climb Championship round in Osnabrück in 2025. This year, following a promising start to the season in France and Luxembourg, he intends to focus primarily on the Supersalita, the top competition in Italy. In doing so, he is also fulfilling a personal ambition, having never hidden his enthusiasm for the hill climb scene in Italy. But Sébastien Petit remains loyal to Uphöfener Berg and also intends to compete in the Int. 58th Hill Climb Race Osnabrück from 7–9 August 2026 with his Nova Proto NP01-2. Alongside him, Team Petit will be represented by two further top-class drivers and spectacular racing cars: Julien Français and Axel Petit will be joining the line-up with a Lola Formula Nippon F3000 V8 Mugen and an Osella PA21 Jrb BMW respectively.
