Surely that all depends upon what you're towing it behind?

Let's see? 4.35 miles; steep hill out of Eau Rouge; long drag up Kemel straight; slight uphill round the Blanchimont area. All the downhills are steep but short and could cause a bit of tipple steer around front wheel on the tighter bends and quite a few long uphill drags to sap the energy. Hmmn, probably just doable in 2 hours 42 minutes.

I think tyre pressure could be crucial.

Paddy asked his wife if they could try the 'wheelbarrow position'.

She said OK as long as he did not push her past Mother's house.

Well there would be no 'two wheels over' problems.

Decided to have a drive up to the Yorkshire Dales yesterday afternoon as Le Jog was passing through that way. Came across them doing a test in the village of Hawes - usual eclectic mix of cars. Took a few pics although the weather was pretty miserable (as you can see in the example attached).

Probably not worth a thread on its own but if anyone is looking for a particular car let me know - might have a photo.

Used to be the best rally for Historics. Being in Hawes the route was possibly from or going to the Buttertubs Pass,one of the best roads for a rally stage-hope it was a TC stage!

Think they might have used Buttertubs - they don't publish the route for spectators, just control points but they did come via Clapham and then out towards Durham area I think.

Le Jog one of the better rallies but nothing compared to Liege Rome of fifteen/ten years ago.

Pity Alan DF and Vincent were not allowed to keep it going but that helped 6 hrs.

In that case Gary,they were probably going to Buttertubs better route heading over the 'tops'.
