Vintage Revival Montlhéry 2019 - Plateau H - YCAR

A 1922 Ford Montier Le Mans leads a 1906 Mercedes Simplex through the final chicane.
Saturday at the Vintage Revival Montlhéry this year was my antidote to jet lag after a week in New York.   It started off wet but everything soon dried out and the event as usual was hugely enjoyable for fans of pre-war cars.  Some of the oldest and biggest engined cars were in Plateau H for the YCAR.  YCAR stands for Yacht-Club des Avions de la Route, a group of French enthusiasts of vintage cars.   It is amazing to see these cars either in the paddock or at speed on the famous Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry track.  Some of them are feature below:
1931 Buick Shaffer at speed on the banking.

Some of the monsters in the paddock including this 1911 9.2 litre SCAT Type C racer.


1913 Sigma racing car.
1906 Mercedes Simplex.
1912 Peugeot GP Special

1912 3.1 litre Wolseley 16-20 

An 8.2 litre Oakland Romano Demon of 1913 vintage.

1933 Citröen Rosalie record car.

A 1912 Crossley followed by a Prince Henry Vauxhall.
The 1913 Prince Henry Sports Vauxhall in the paddock.

1908 Brasier Aero 50 HP.
1925 Anthony Cyclecar.

1913 Daimler-Mercedes rennwagen.
1925 Alvis 1250SC McArthur on the banking.

1922 Ballot 2LS.

    Hi John
    Lovely images
    Just one point, the 'Lorraine-Dietrich' is in fact a 1912 Crossley.
    The early Lorraine-Dietrich radiator is almost identical to the slightly later Edwardian Crossley, it is no coincidence that Jarrot & Letts were agents for both before being absorbed into the Crossley Motors in 1911.
