Deleted User Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Totally different type of event from the 10CR.If you're into the Monte check outhttp://www.acm.mc/rmch/rmch_main.phpThese are the route details for the Automobile Club de Monaco's Monte Carlo Rallye Historique which has just finished.This is the real deal with five starting points dotted around Europe and uses the actual roads from the original event.Not cheap though and don't expect an entry if you've got a Mini Cooper.I've followed this event for a number of years now. It gets little publicity in this country in classic car magazines and for some strange reason, the number of Brits entering this year is at an all time low.Have a look round the website at the maps and route cards. It's a brilliant website.In fact, almost everything is there to show you what is required to run an event all over Europe.Makes you think what Raider had to do to get Club Triumph round 10 countries for a fraction of the price and without the resources that the Automobile Club de Monaco can call upon to put on a couple of other small events such as the Monte Carlo Rally and the Monaco Grand Prix.McJim.

GT6 John Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Good to see that in amoungst the 'posh' cars a team in a Spitfire not only competed but came 177th out of 275.Very impressive. Just goes to show, size isn't everything! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 On the same page as a Healey 3000 and a Porker 911 - a good account give I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 There are in fact 7 Triumphs in the results table with a TR3A in 11th place ;)A TR2 came 155th driven by a John Walsh - sounds rather English! A member of the TR Register perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Not just 'posh' cars compete.In past years there have been Triumph Heralds, Fiat 500's, Citroen 2CV's and all sorts of more modest machinery.Trouble is with this type of event, and this is by no means a criticism, is that due to the expense of doing the event, the vast majority of the entrants have expensive cars.All credit to the Automobile Club de Monaco in that they will almost guarantee an entry, entries being by invitation only, to small uncompetitive cars to stop it becoming a Lancia Stratos/Porsche Carrera 911 exclusive event.My mate, Douglas, wants to enter in a Triumph, possibly next year. He's talking about using an early Spitfire as he's considering selling his Herald Coupe. The organisers have assured him that his entry will be looked on favourably since he'll be using a car not often seen on continental events.McJim.

JohnD Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 "Elidgable cars - TRIUMPH : TR2 - TR3, A - Hérald, coupé - TR4 - Vitesse - 2500 PI - Spitfire (->65) - GT 6 - 2000 - TR 5!So almost anything Triumph goes, before TR6. Only Mk2 Spit, strangely, when all the others are legit. I suppose it's what competed in Ye Olde Dayes.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 In past years there have been Triumph Heralds, Fiat 500's, Citroen 2CV's and all sorts of more modest machineryWe wouldn't do the 10 CR in any other car than the Herald, obviously we have modified it but it is still is a 1147cc and more mods are in store :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 More mods ??)The 10CR wouldn't be the same without the White Tornado and crew ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Just discovered this: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-3509399108602105578&q=rendezvousLelouch drives the route of his film, "C'etait un rendez-vous" again!You need better French than mine to follow his discussion with an interviewer, but it's fun for fans of the film (Enough alliteration! - Ed) The aged director sticks to the speed limit, but even then can't resist overtaking on the wrong side, just once!But how about a 'Rendezvous Revisited' on the 10CR?0500 through Paris, as fast as you dare.Extra points if the girl's still there!John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
