CRX89B - Pt 5 2012 RMCH - Common Leg

Alastair Vines' Mini - CRX89B Austin Mini Cooper S 1964 on the 2012 Rallye Monte Carlo Historique.

Alastair Vines and Peter Moss with the help of their service team of Nigel Chetwynd and Simon Wheatcroft tackle the 2012 Rallye Monte Carlo Historique. They are competing as part of a five car team of British Minis - Equipe Mini. They have sponsorship from Mini Spares Ltd (www.minispares.com), and the support of Roelands Race and Rally (Mini Prep) (roelandsracerally.com), Auto-BMC (www.auto-bmc.com)  in France, and Southam Mini and Metro Centre, Warwickshire. (+44 1926 815681).

In Part 5 we see the start of the two day Common Leg, with the first day competing in the mountains around and about the town of Valence over a distance of about 320Km. This part covers the dash up the mountain to ZR6 St Pierreville - Antraiges with its icy hairpins part way through provides plenty of challenges to our intrepid crew.

We did well here - 15th through the stage and lifted our game to 66th overall.   END
