Does anyone know where I could possibly find a results site for the Rallye Paris-St. Raphael?

It was a female race, if I remember well, anf first edition of the rally happened before World War 2.

Thanks.

Miss Renée Friderich, daughter of Bugatti driver Ernest, was killed on 24 February 1932 during the Paris-St.-Raphaël Rallyn at the wheel of a Delahaye.

I've found an other accident that happened in (May?) 1970 during the Paris-St.-Raphaël Rally, in which a female driver named Acary (or Acamy?) was killed. I have not any other information about.

Renée Friederich was driving a D8 Delage and not a Delahaye.

Thanks for that.

Are Mimi and Claire Descollas the same person? One of them (I've always assumed Claire) was the wife of Gaston Descollas.
They seem to compete in the same cars.

Yes, one and the same (une et la même?). Married to Gaston.

The French National Library website Gallica is a very good source for pre-war Paris-St Raphael reports and results, although it does need a bit of work to find them as only some of the newspapers are searchable by keyword. I compiled those 1938 results using a combination of Le Figaro and l'Intransigeant (plus the Journal de Genève from the Le Temps archive, since the route ran through Switzerland and they visited the Geneva Motor Show)

A bit late referring back to post#7 from 2005, but was G. Renault (1st 1961 and 2nd 1963) from the Renault car company family?

And why was the event in 1973 & 4 shown as a round of the European Rally Championship? How could it be if it wasn't open to all (ie male competitors)?

The 1973 event is shown in the Yellow Book as specifically part of the European Cup for Ladies, which otherwise encompassed all rounds of the European Rally Championship. I don't have the 1974 Yellow Book, but it was presumably the same.

And overall, the points scoring system was so bloody complicated that I doubt it inconvenienced anybody. No points were awarded for an event if there were fewer than 40 starters, only the best six scores overall could be counted (from about 25 possible) and drivers also could only count their best two events per country! (Quite how that works for the Munich-Vienna-Budapest or the Lyon-Charbonnieres-Stuttgart-Solitude I have no idea!) Presumably the idea was that you could run a campaign regionally so that (for example) Scandinavians wouldn't have to trek off to Italy, Portugal or Yugoslavia and could just take part in the Nordic events. In the 1974 championship, a driver called Pradera scored a total of 42 points in 3 rallies, but they were all in Spain, so he had to drop the 12 for third place in the Firestone - this dropped him down the overall list from 6th to one of five placed joint 9th: three of the others in that group were Markku Alen, Stig Blomqvist and Jean-Pierre Nicolas!

The 1975 scoring system was even more complicated, involving four different coefficients, but 1974 appears to have been the last Rallye Féminin.

According to the ERC points table for 1973 published in Autosport, both Donatella Tominz and Marianne Hoepfner counted points from the Paris-St Raphael in their final totals.

It counted for manufacturers, but the dedicated drivers' standings came after its demise.

The 1973 ERC was a drivers' championship. As far as I can tell there was no award for manufacturers.

No you're right, I'm thinking of the WRC.

I'm guessing there was some sort of points coefficient which meant that a win on the St Raphael didn't count for that many points as a win in a mixed-entry event.

The 1973 table published in Autosport shows that the points scored by Hoepfner (1st, 20 points) and Tominz (5th, 8 points) on the Paris-St Raphael match the scores from the other events. (The 1973 ERC was scored 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1).

No, the points tables indicate that it was of equal value. As I posted above, the coefficients weren't introduced until 1975.

I have always been a proponent of more female participation in motorsport, but it was still wrong to allow an event to count for a championship when most competitors were precluded by their gender. Some sort of wrong headed affirmative action perhaps?

My reading of the situation, based on post #15, is that the intention was that it would be a qualifying round in the women's championship only. On that basis, claiming points towards the main ERC is incorrect and inappropriate, which is the point you are making.

There wasn't a separate championship for women. According to the FIA Year Book, for 1973 the European Rally Cup for Ladies would be awarded to the 'female driver having obtained the highest total of points in the overall classification of the European Rally Championship'.

I've reworked my Paris-St. Raphael article. It's getting closer to a full results table now.
