By being a hill climb, not a circuit race that was banned. Strangely, rallying seems to have suffered in Switzerland after 1955 along with racing (Geneva Rally ran in France). The famous Ollon-Villars hill climb ran as European Championship after 1955.

I realise the first post merely reflects the organisers' site in calling a hill climb a race (and that it stems from the use of "course" meaning any form of motorsport) but it has important consequences in the UK, not least for insurance, and I'm sure I've told many other posters on here never to refer to anything that is not a race as a "race".
