Rallye du Médoc VHC - 2023

 

The winners of the VHC rally were Alain Grand and Bernard Correge in this wonderful Lancia Delta Integrale.

With two of the entrants withdrawing, just 5 cars started the VHC section of this year's Rallye du Medoc. In the end, after the Citroën retired, the well turned out Lancia took a relatively straightforward win.  For the spectators the unusual site of the Matra Djet competing was perhaps the highlight.   

The conditions were rather damp as can be seen from the photos.

Seeing this well turned out French Blue Matra Djet 6 on the Saturday in Parc Fermé made me eager to see it on the road on Sunday.

Second was this Fiat 131 Abarth which was the only finisher in the Classic section of the rally.  The driver / navigator were Max and Nadège Bazilet.

This wonderful Matra Djet 6 was second of the non-classics and third overall driven by Jacky and Dimitri Pivert.

Fourth overall and third of the non-classics was this Peugeot 205 driven by Erick Hornig and Pascal Robin.

This Citroën Visa 1000 led early on in the hands of Mathieu Herran but didn't last the rally.

The winning Lancia.
