Blythswood Heritage Run - 29 Jan
The
Blythswood Heritage Run will follow a similar format to the very
successful event, in 2011. The finish will be in Drymen for
supper. A Roadbook and Rally Plates will be provided.
We
are looking for cars to represent those that would have taken part in
the Monte Carlo Rallies from the 1940’s through to the
1970’s. The event will be flagged off from the Start Ramp
of the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique, once the Rally cars have been
cheered on their way.
Cut off date for entries 22 Jan.
Feature
Ecurie Ecosse team challenge Monte Carlo
The
Monte veteran Ralph Forbes, a regular at CCHMSC events, has put
together a 7 car team for the 2012 Monte Carlo Historique under under
the famous "Ecurie Ecosse" name.
72 year old Ralph, from West
Linton south of Edinburgh, will be competing in his 1978 Fiat 128,
co-driven with son Wesley. Ralph approached Ecurie Ecosse patron Hugh
McCaig for permission to drive to the principality under the Ecurie
Ecosse name.
“The Challenge is to win it,” said
Forbes, who believes that a team of Scottish drivers will have a better
chance of taking home a prize than individual private entries.
"Under
event rules, the times from the best five competitors out of seven,
count. So, if you can get five cars in the top 50, you are in with a
chance. It will be very competitive. However, we have good, experienced
drivers. My son, Wesley, has won his class at the Monte before. We know
what is required but you also need luck." [more]
