 | Monte Carlo Historique Rally Finish - 4 February 2012
Report
by Jim Paterson
After
2190 miles of hard driving across Europe, with special regularity
stages up in the French Alps, often in snow and ice, the successful
cars have arrived for the final time in Monte Carlo.
The table below shows how the Glasgow Clydebank starters got on, ZR14 being the finl stage of the event. Shown
are the total points accrued for each car along with
the difference from first placed car, the 1978 Opel Kadett GTE of José
Lareppe from Belgium on 4614 points and no penalties. José had been
running in third place with last years winner Italian Mario Sala in his
1965 Porsche 911, but overtook him on the last special regularity ZR14 to
secure the top trophy.

Of
the 12 Glasgow starters (No 292 started in Reims but was a member of
the Ecurie Ecosse Team), four retired due to mechanical problems.
The
1971 Datsun 240Z of Americans Bradley Mottier and William Hoff retired
on the concentration run from Calais to Monte Carlo, as did David and
Roger Loveys in the 1950 Allard P1.
The first of the Ecurie
Ecosse team, No 292 the 1961 Alfa Romeo Guiletta T1 of David Mustarde
and Bernard Northmore were next to retire on special regularity ZR5,
again due to mechanical problems. Another Ecurie Ecosse team, No 192
Fiat 124 Coupe of Alan Morton and Milton Ringer retired on special
regularity ZR10.
The attrition rate for the Ecurie Ecosse team
was starting to bite as No 299, the Lancai Fulvia Coupe of Steve
and Tony Graham bit the dust (or should I say snow) on the last stage
of the Monaco Monaco loop which concludes the rally.
 On
the bright side 4 of the Ecurie Ecosse team have reached the finish.
Team creator Ralph Forbes and Wesley Massam in the 1978 Fiat 128,
John Roberts and Oliver Tomlins in a 1977 Fiat 128 Coupe, Rick Pearson
and Stuart Pringle in the 1979 Porsche 924, and Andrew McAlpine and
Alexander Proctor in their 1965 Lancia Fulvia Coupe.
But will it be enough to take the Team Prize given the number of other teams in the event. We wait to see.
