Valence - Monaco. A pot-pourri of pictures and videos


Peter Barker / Willy Cave #273



I quite fancy one of these



Or one of these.



Service team of Simon Wheatcroft and Nigel Chetwynd hard at work.







Here a mixture of videos from some of the more interesting parts of the rally from Valence - Valence - Monaco. We were very fortunate to have the support and sponsorship of Mini Spares and Heritage Insurance to help us enter the event and to raise money for our chosen charity 'Bliss' who care about babies born too soon, too small or too sick to fend for themselves.







Coming soon - The Turini from start to finish

ZR2 Tourette de Chateau

This time I think the videos will work......At long last after several attempts I can bring you in-car footage of ZR2 Tourette de Chateau. It was quite snowy in this fairly long stage, although would have been much more difficult for the front runners who met fresh snow. By the time we got there much of it had been cleared off the road. There was still plenty left to surprise people though, and the casualty rate in the stage was quite high.

The film is about 20 minutes and in two parts due to You Tube rules, but unfortunately the camera stopped shortly before the end of the stage. Look out for spectator cars coming back down the stage against rally traffic and look out also for the snow plough coming against the rally direction which causes a little "moment". See the number of stopped rally cars, and also toward the end catching and passing the Healey.

I should like to thank Mini Spares and Heritage Insurance very much for their support to our rally effort and our chosen charity Bliss who care for babies born to early or too sick to fend for themselves.










Here the videos of ZR2 - Enjoy





There will be more
