Nine Days To Go- Paris Madrid 2013

admin — Wed, 15 May 2013 10:01:26 +0000

The countdown to this wonderful event is on and there are just 9 days to the start of the Paris-Madrid Rally, marking the 110th Anniversary of the original running of the Paris-Madrid Race in 1903.

We are delighted to say that Nigel Herring, Charles Jarrott’s great nephew will be flagging off the cars and wishing them well on their travels.

The rally starts 110 years to the day of the initial event, which was halted in Bordeaux – we will finally finish the event, ending in the Juan Carlos 1 Parque on the outskirts of Madrid. The original race was intended to finish in the centre of Madrid but modern roads and traffic have made this virtually impossible. However, the winning car will be taken to the Gala dinner where it will be the guest of honour.

Day 34 – Rio Gallegos to Rio Grande

A two-border day today! One hour from Rio Gallegos you cross the border into Chile, then take a 30 minute ferry before a short drive on tarmac which soon turns into the, by now, well trodden gravel track. Then it’s … Continue reading →

Day 33 – El Calafate to Rio Gallegos

Once again a short day across the open plains of Patagonia saw participants arrive in good time to enjoy the delights of this old fishing town and the British Club.

Day 32 – Gobernador Gregores to El Calafate

admin — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:56:31 +0000

El Calafate is a major tourist destination in Argentina as it is the nearest large town to the incredible Perito Moreno glacier. With just 336kms to do today we arrived in plenty of time to take the 80km trip to the glacier. Casualty of the day was the Mercedes 280SL of Steve Hyde and Janet Lyne which once again overheated and this time cooked the engine to the point of retirement.

Day 31 – Los Antiguos to Gobernador Gregores

admin — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 08:55:34 +0000

A relatively short day today in terms of time as the 407kms was covered by most in under 6 hours. Here too we were spread in a number of hotels but this was made up for by the welcome that was given to us by the town which was celebrating its own anniversary. They put on a car show with special places for our participants, all of whom arrived in good order.
