9 ème Rallye National VHC d'Autun Sud-Morvan

The Austin Healey 100 of Franck Augis and Franck Massimi that was 16th fastest of the 22 VHC cars on the first special stage.

The ninth national rally for historic and classic cars of Autun and the South of Morvan had a great field of over fifty cars.  Many of them are featured in this blog post.  These were the first cars of the day on the first special stage ES1 between Sommant and Lucenay on Saturday morning.  I stood in a field near Cussy-en-Morvan and peered over the hedges trying to get a few good pictures.  As this was a fast downhill section, this proved quite a challenge but I was glad to have brought some steps with me.  I loved seeing the Ford Escorts and the Austin Healey 100 but there was a good variety of cars entered.

This Porsche 911 was the fastest VHC on the first special stage.  Its crew was Alain and Sylvie Oreille.

This Ford Escort RS Mk2 was second fastest,  Its crew was Francois Foulon and Sébastien Mattei.
