Rallye International du Maroc press day
Rallye International du Maroc press day

Rendez-vous Paris: some of the competitors due to take part on the Rallye International du Maroc in October recently got together in Paris to try out their cars and meet their rivals. The machinery was eclectic, ranging from Porsches to Peugeots, and the stars in attendance included Michele Mouton, Bruno Saby and former Maroc winner Bob Neyret.

The Citroen DS may not be the most obvious rally car out there. But in Neyret’s hands it flew. Watch the video to see a DS being driven like it’s never been driven before. Sacre bleu!

It is midway through day-6 of the 9 day event and the winner Bjorn Waldegard sits stoically in his battered Porsche 911. This car has just had a large section of the roll cage replaced because of extensive damage sustained after Bjorn lost control in a slippery mud-hole and hit a stranded truck. The repair was expertly effected by the Tuthill Porsche team, who cannibalised a retired 911 to repair Waldegard's version in real African 'back-street-garage' style. Incredibly only 41 minutes in road penalties were lost.
