Some more dates for you, all from Yellow Book calendars:

24-25 July 1971
30 July 1972
28-29 July 1973
19-20 July 1975
17-18 July 1976
17 July 1977

etc?

I don't have the 1970, 1974 or any post-1977 Yellow Books, so there may be more to find.

These French hillclimb specials are always fascinating - e.g. never heard of a BMW-engined GRAC before!

In 1969 Maublanc scored 5 first, 3 second and 1 third places in French Hillclimbs with a Grac BMW.
He won at St Baume, Coudon, Pin, Cacharat and Treffort and besides this Lafosse won at Limouches.
The Grac-BMW was a 1.8l Monoposto.

As I've read in Ed Heuvink's Scuderia Filipinetti and some Siffert books Jo Siffert won the 1962 event in a Lotus-BRM 24. Schiller won his class with the Porsche 718 at Marchairuz and Col de la Faucille. In those days F1 cars startet very often in hillclimbs. I think Trintigant was a regular on French hills, still winning with a BRM in 1964.

What happend during the 1963 edition. Are there any more informations ? Was Martino killed in a crash due to rain or spectators ?

How long was the track from 1962 -1977. I have 17.2 Km is this correct ?

looking forward tzo your answers.

so long
