Patrick Zajelsnik breaks record at the Homburg mountain race in 2025!
Last weekend saw the 50th edition of the Homburg ADAC hill climb, where Patrick Zajelsnik dominated the event. The 44-year-old racing driver, who has both German and Slovenian citizenship, not only secured overall victory, but also set a new course record. Zajelsnik, who drives for MSC Erftal, only needed 1:03.021 minutes in the first of the three races for the 2.6 kilometer route from Homburg to Käshofen, significantly improving his own record of 1:03.440 minutes, which he set in 2024.
A total of 79 starters in 18 classes took part in the event, which was watched by around 3,000 spectators. The weather cooperated and provided ideal conditions so that many drivers were able to achieve their personal best times. Zajelsnik once again proved his class by remaining below the old record in the following two runs with times of 1:04.898 minutes and 1:05.004 minutes.
