Thank you mon amicalemans.....fascinating early Mustang history...particularly the involvement of Alan Mann and Holman and Moody in rallying.

I think that this race though is more a road rally???

"The mixture of rallying, circle tracks and hillclimbing races caused the special outstanding thrill to drivers as well as spectators. However it demanded a well-balanced synergy of experience, technical and driving ambitions and skills as well as healthy and trained body and mind conditions from the participants"

The anoraks and pedants on here can fight it out...but in my opinion...this was not a pure circuit race??
