Montlhéry Vintage Revival 2011 *part1*

.

The last week-end was exceptionnal, on our famous racetrack of Montlhéry-Linas, thanks to the organisation and Vincent Chamon, there was no crowd, atmosphere was irreal and so cool. The machines displayed were very rares and truly "vintage" (before 1940). Some of them courageous, came by the road like George "Norton" Cohen on his 1908 Brasier from England, who broke the clutch few miles before arriving.
We hope and pray all for a second edition next year!
