Pretty sure it's Raynond Mays in one of his Brescia Bugattis (Cordon Bleu or Cordon Rouge) in an English hillclimb circa 1923Originally Posted by 225sloper
Close David. It was 1924 at the Caerphilly Mountain hill-climb and the car was Cordon Bleu.

The Torana French Hell Drivers put on an appearance at Teretonga in the 1970's as part of a NZ tour. As part of the show they drove the Torana's on 2 wheels (right round Teretonga's 2.6km track). Unsure of the dates but was in the late 1970's.
They came to Ocean Veiw Speedway in Wanganui to i saw them,drove right round the track on two wheels in the Toranas.Also remember driving a Vangard into a big block of ice
Bloody hell, these are crazy!The Torana French Hell Drivers put on an appearance at Teretonga in the 1970's as part of a NZ tour. As part of the show they drove the Torana's on 2 wheels (right round Teretonga's 2.6km track). Unsure of the dates but was in the late 1970's.
Yes, but did the guy in the Vauxhall doing the jump have a 48mm or a 42mm main hoop in his rollcage, did he have two retaining clips on his fire extinguisher, did he have a relief valve fitted for his `air' brakes, or maybe this was connected to his undies? He probably also signed an idemnity form making him his own risk and solely responsible for his vehicle. But that was a while ago, things are `different' now.........
