Thanks chaps.

Tony, remember when we wos robbed?

1966 Disqualification see below.

The team technically won, the minis finishing with Timo 1st GRX 555D , Rauno 2nd GRX 55D , and Paddy 3rd GRX 5D .

The French suspected cheating and immediately dissasembled the minis. The cars were gone over and over, with the organisers intent on proving that the English were cheating. Eventually they announced that the headlamp bulbs were illegal, and pronounced Citroen to be the winners. BMC undoubtedly gained more publicity from the disqualification than they would have done by winning.

Vive La France! :D:D:D
