 May
the 8, and 9 1999, 3 crews of the STARC Aquitaine took part in the
second edition of the Rally Vines and Turns.
The last year, two teams had taken part in the first edition of this
test of regularity. The geographical base of this test was at Coutras,
in Aquitaine. A technical problem at the time of special of night
put out of the race the Rieublanc-Charroux team on Alpine A310. For
a first participation with a true rally of regularity and navigation,
the crew Freyssenge-Valette on Alpine A110 1300S finish 7th after
have been at the third place at the end of night stage
This year, three teams took part:
- Freyssenge-Freyssenge on Alpine A110 1300S
- Rieublanc-Charraux on Alpine A310 1600, taking part for several
years in cut ADERH
- Pellico-Castéra, had made us a small inaccuracy, on NSU 1200TTS
The base of this rally is Créon, capital of the
Entre-Deux-Mers area near Bordeaux.. Delimited by the Garonne and
the Dordogne rivers, the area undulating and is covered with vines
and wood. This rally proceeded over two days. Opened with any type
of vehicles, one found on the place of Créon, nearly 50 cars. One
found inter alia, Romeo Esparto, Austin Healey and Mini
Cooper, MG, Triumph Spitfire, Simca 1000 Rally 2 and Rally 3, NSU
1000 TTS, Ford Escort 1300S of the Reprise 5000 team, the Sirocco
of the club of Bordeaux, Férrari 166 MM and of course of Alpine
and Renault 8 Gordini.
  
Saturday - Stage 1 - Créon-Blasimon
The introduction was quite complicated for considerable crews.
Many himself remember of many turn that it have carry out around
the church and of cemetery of St Quentin le Baron.
  
The undulating course was appreciated by the whole of the
participants. The crews of the STARC Aquitaine left themselves there
well.
Saturday - Stage 2 - Blasimon-Créon
The return towards Créon was easier. Some traps however a few kilometres
from Créon, Safe Major. At the Sauve, little of participant be pass
by the street of Church, with foot of abbey...
The others went back directly to Créon.
Saturday - Stage 3 of night - the large piece - Créon-Ste Cross of
Mount-Créon - 120 km
This special was present like the more difficult, nobody contradict...
The speed average of crew be calculate on the average kilometric
note with first CP. Misfortune, with those which be leave too slowly,
the last be arrive towards 4h00! in Créon. Misfortune to what left
too quickly, they were severly sanctioned or could not maintain
this average on the narrow roads close to Ste Croix of the Mount.
Certain teams will remember the CP 2. And yes, the policemen and
the priest ensured the pointing. Certain competitors did not
believe in it and did not want to stop...
 
This stage of night was quite difficult for many competitors. Several
passed this CP to back...
Alpine A110 1600S Groupe 4 was again first at the end.
Sunday - Stage 4 - Créon-St. Caprais of Bordeaux-Créon
This last stage seemed simpler. The first part consisted in finding
its road starting from extract of cards, like a puzzle... The remainder
of special consisted in holding an average of 39 km/h. The latter
will only influence very little the classification. Only, the Freyssenge-Freyssenge
crew encountered problems of clutch to the foot of uneven significant,
blocking it during nearly 45 minutes.

After the meal offered by the municipality of Créon, the Mayor
of Créon accomodate the whole of participant for a handing-over
of price very cordial.
