3ème Rallye Régional Val de Boutonne VHC - 2024

This Lancia Delta Integrale was leading the VHC rally early on but eventually retired.

 March 24th 2024 saw the 3rd running of the Rallye Régional Val de Boutonne and as in the previous editions it included a rally for VHC / Classic rally cars.  I watched two of the six stages (ES2 and ES3) which were near Lussant and Moragne. Blessed by relatively good weather after the recent rain, there were plenty of spectators at both stages I attended.   

The rally was based at the Cooperative Agricole at Tonnay-Boutonne.

All of the cars that competed on the VHC / Classic section of the rally are shown in this blogpost in the order that they finished.
