Every now and then, something cool right under my nose escapes me. Classic Rallye Canada is one of those things. It took a post from Classic Rallies way over in Jolly Olde to wake me up.
Classic Rallye Canada is a road rally that is open to any car built before 1978 and will take place on the roads of rural Quebec in September. This is actually the second attempt, following an aborted effort last October when insurance problems arose for international competitors. This is a TSD rally, meaning that cars do not require performance or safety mods and helmets are not required unless one wishes to take part in the optional lapping at Mont Tremblant.
We’ve been putting some thought towards a Volvo 242 GT here in the Garage, but that would still be too new for this event. Maybe we need to find some willing sucker partner with a cool older car and put together an entry. Hmmmm.

Too bad… the first Audi Quattro was born in 1980. Dem were the days, unlimited power and 4-wheel drive.
But I’ll offer this as a “consolation prize: A Group 4 Lancia Stratos HF that helped Lancia win the World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975 and 1976.
If I had one I’d let you run it.
(who am I kidding if that were the case you’d be eating my dust in that sorry little Swedish thing!)
Oh yes, but I can buy parts for the brick. You’d like have to make them for the Stratos…or wait for months for them to arrive from the land of red wine and pasta!
Emmmm… pasta!
Bricks? Just a bit too chewy for my taste.
