Beauty

[Black 03 Z06]

Come on you have nothing to do today and this is really worth a read if you have any interest in Canadian Motorsports. This "Beauty" picture brought back lots of memories of an event completely forgotten about, The Shell 4000 FIA Rally from the 1950's and 60's. I have attached a couple of links about the rally. Have a coffee on me and enjoy.

The story of the Trans-Canada Rally

It’s another half-forgotten chapter in Canadian motorsport history that deserves to be remembered, if only because it seemed like so much fun

Actually, with another look, I think they were well into the race and that was just a pedestrian out for a walk in the middle of the road. lol...
