Circuit des Remparts 2023 - Plateau Demonstration - Lancia Stratos / Bernard Darniche

Two of the three Lancia Stratos at Angoulême 17 September 2023.

This demonstration plateau at the 2023 Circuit des Remparts at Angoulême celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the first Lancia Stratos in 1973.   The Lancia Stratos was the most successful rally car in the 1974, 75 and 76 WRC seasons and won 18 WRC victories between 1974 and 1981.

Bernard Darniche was the most successful French rally driver of the Lancia Stratos, winning the 1979 Rally Monte Carlo plus the Tour de Corse three times.  Bernard was present at Angoulême and I believe was driving one of the three Stratos being demonstrated.
