Monte Carlo Rally Start - Paisley

Post by Macrootes »

This years Monte Carlo Historic rally will start from the Abbey Close in Paisley on Wednesday 28th January. This is the only UK start point. Runs include the Rally proper, a rally run to Reims, two Heritage Runs, one to Luss (presume over the Campsie Alps, our very own central Scotland Col De Turini) and the other to the Dumfries rally check point.

Cars assembling from 14.00 onwards. First car is at 19.00.

Upwards of 70 classic cars expected, including several Imp variants (two Chamois and two Imps and a Clan Crusader, wonder what the plural of Chamois is?). There maybe more but that was the entry list as of last week.

Entertainment, food stalls and hopefully lots of spectators. Estimated 10k spectators last year, and they packed the Abbey Close and the route out of Paisley, and various other vantage points. Last year I was handed a bag of Imp bits from one the spectators, set of early rear lights, set of Brabham service cards and some front indicators. He said he had no use for them but wanted to donate them to a running car.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us, last year it was the coldest night of the Winter and really cold at Luss.
