CRX89B - Pt 7 2012 Rallye Monte Carlo Historique - Valence - Monte Carlo

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).

Part 7 covers the final day of the rally as it heads south from Valence to Monte Carlo. Three special stages were expected, one planned, the second a surprise, and the third cancelled due to dangerous conditions created by the snow. This clip follows CRX89B's exciting fortunes over snow covered stages as the team creep up the leader board. There is some service action at the infamous Sortie 57 off the A8, and a walk around the parking for weary crews and cars at La Turbie time control, plus commentary from other drivers and the evergreen Willy Cave former Works navigator to BMC and Triumph.
