well that was fast

Please see

for photographs of all participating cars.

The Brescia ran exceedingly well (noisy & fast) and I liked that black unrestored Lorraine-Dietrich: you´d never know it is a four-door!

The next Rallye des Grandes Marques (2012) will be organized by the French Bugatti club.

that looked great
i only found out about this one when i was in Austria for the 8C rally that went on during the same period.
next year i'm defenitly following this one

... that will be the last weekend of August. Which means the Rallye collides with the Schwetzingen Concours d´Elegance, always a good place to see French vintage cars. A tough decision.

i'll go with the Rally then
that's a couple of days and it's on the road

Good decision! Dynamic Concours should always be preferred over static display.

On the road... and occasionally in restaurants. This is France, after all.

certain concours are required attendance mostly to see very rare cars that seldom get outside, so it is the only chance tp see them
but the opportunity to see and hear them driving is always preffered!!
it's even better if you can be in one (driving or passenger)

not only in France
besides is there any other way on how to do a rally??
