Collingrove Hillclimb is a motor sport facility located in South Australia's Barossa Valley. It is situated approximately 7 km south of Angaston, off the Angaston — Mount Pleasant Road, and is owned and operated by the Sporting Car Club of South Australia. It has been in operation since 1952 [2] and has attracted some of Australia's better known hillclimb vehicles and competitors.
The track itself is 750 m of challenging asphalt, climbing nearly 70 m from the start line to the finish. The club has recently upgraded the return road with an asphalt surface. For spectators the track offers many vantage points and picnic areas.
Each year there are Multiclub Events, the three round Wintercup series, Come & Try Day's and the South Australian Hillclimb Championships. Collingrove was the venue of the 2010 Australian Hillclimb Championship.
