Mini Winter Rally 2012

[alexdenevers]

This week-end it was the Mini Winter Rally. A TSD rally, dedicated to Minis in Switzerland. The goal is to get the maximum of snow all along the week-end !

It's organised by the Mini club Romand



This year we went to Lausanne, climbed upto the Jura mountains, and landed next to Fribourg, this means a total of 300 miles.

I switched 4 times from the yokos A008 to the Michelin studed tyres as there was no snow during the 4 first stages..

Here are my pics, enjoy !


Start from MINI dealership of Morges

Who said rallying is not compatible with family ?


The track was wet, unfortunately not snowy..



Nice Innocenti 1300 Cooper.


The snow began to fall


Stronger and stronger !

Hmm, not enough snow..



Here we go again !


The roads are becoming interesting.



more and more interesting !


Loneliness feeling with this fog..


And it's getting worse !


Finally we reached the arrival, we can see smiles on tired faces..


Dried sausage and cheese from the Alps are my best friends after such a week-end !


37 teams.. Thanks to Daniel, Guy and their team from Mini Club Romand !


The return was a bit long, especially for those who drives the cars !

What a fantastic set of pictures!

Looks like a good event, but I guess the lack of snow must have been a bit disappointing.

I could really fancy doing something like that one day.
