The fledging Historic rally Group has just run its second event, the Rallye Historique de Fleurieu on Saturday 11th of July. Only 9 entries but a very challenging event on the roads of the southern Fleurieu peninsula which were a bit wet and slippery after recent rain. Navigation was quite straightforward for the first half navs having to deal with an odd map scale and a number of maps. But the second half provided more for the navs to do with a monster 55 km section to finish with 11 tricky vias to plot.
1st place went to Reg Marrett and Dave Langfield on only his second map event(!) showing a clean pair of wheels to Mark Nelson/Mike Baker (yes the Mike Baker who used to be in the Honda car Club) and followed closely a couple of minutes away by Ethan and Alan Pickstock.
Plans are afoot to run another event or two as the interest in this style of cheap motorsport is increasing.
