Rallye Vin des Champagnes 2014

As a warm up to Tour Auto, it just so happened that the journey down to Avallon coincided nicely with a compact French rally on the outskirts of the Champagne heavyweight town of Epernay. Without really knowing what to expect, we were treated to a healthy line up of ex WRC cars, and a varied and interesting historic field. 
Being deep in the heartland of Champagne, we should really have expected the festivities in the village of Cormoyeux, with specially branded bottles of Champagne being sold for a pittance, and gleefully consumed by a very thirsty crowd.

  1. I am glad I was one of the thirsty crowd. The hot dog was good too as were the cars. Bon appetit!
