Title: Re: Tour Auto 2011 Post by: phil-m on 08 March, 2011, 10:31:32 AM Hi Peter, it was very useful indeed and my compliments on the standard of the stand at Race Retro. I am still waiting for a response from the organisers. I did though have an interesting conversation with a prominent Lancia restoration and parts supplier who are preparing a Flaminia Coupe for the event and they have fitted Halda and other items that would seem to be outside the regulations as I read them.

Title: Re: Tour Auto 2011 Post by: DavidLaver on 08 March, 2011, 02:31:30 PM On that event are there "rules" and "rules if you win"? If so that tends to suit most. The real danger is turning up to face half a dozen lawyers hell bent on not letting you run at all.

Luckily I had already consumed the champagne.
