Tour and Tarmac Events

The following cars all appeared in events which featured a mixture of race and rally circuit events or pure tarmac rally events - The 3 main "Tours" were the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the Tour of Britain. The Italian version sees a lot of Prototypes and Group 5 cars appearing in the Road Rally/Circuit events, the Tour de France was a mix of Touring Car and GT/Sports cars in its earlier years, becoming more akin to a road rally event as we moved in to the early 70s. The short lived Tour of Britain was a chance for straight from the forecourt style cars to show their sporting prowess. Other Tarmac only events were often used to test prototypes of forthcoming rally cars - some of the Fiat/Lancia/Alfa cars were the forerunners to some of the group B monsters.

Carraramodels Fiat 124 Abarth Proto driven by Giorgio Pianta in the 1973 Giro D'Italia - Pianta was the man behind the Abarth rally programme, and many see him as the genius behind Rohrl and Fiats 1980 World Championship, and the subsequent development of the Lancia 037 and Delta S4. Sadly, Pianta passed away in 2014.

A Realcarmodels of Hungary Porsche Cayman GT4 which won the 2011 Giro D'Italia driven by Pittori/Gagliardini/Bernardini

Excellent models Paul. Porsches are sweet.

Very pleased with this. Spark Porsche 935 which won the Giro D'Italia in 1979. Nice touch with the spare/different front bumper which i'm guessing was required for the roads between stages/circuits.

Great array of models there Paul. A very nice project with road looking cars to outrageous racers and wings.

That's a cracking addition Paul

Thanks Maurice/Chris - nice to know 2 collectors with great taste like this

Partswork Group 5 Seat 124 2100 16v which won the 1977 Costa Del Sol at the hands of Zanini

Very nice Paul. I do like the old boxy 70's cars.

Some real cool stuff here Paul

AWSOME X1000

Paul I had the good fortune to do one day of the Autoglass Tour with Chris Lord when it came to Ireland in 1989. If you come across any photos of a Sierra Sapphire with #11 on the door I would be very interested. Thanks James

Paul

Some nice new additions there

I dont think I have ever seen an Alfa 33 looking like that!!

Whatever they did to the roof and airbox didnt do much for its looks.

You learn something every day....

Chris

Suspect youre thinking of the road 33 rather than sportscar racing 33

Paul

No it was the Alfa Romeo 33 sports racing car I was thinking of like this one I saw at the Spa/Stavelot Motor Museum a couple of weeks ago. A pretty good looking car in its own right





As you say the Alfa 33 road car is something very different and just a stunning looking car.



Chris

Beautiful racers/road cars

Great collection. Surprised you don't have a Didier Auriol Tour de France 86 Mercedes 190e

I sort of do......
