ACT 3, THE ROADS
The route, laid out by Remi Gardet: close to 200 kilometres in seven stages, from the quai in Geneva to the fondue table that night. Out through the border at Gaillard and up the Salève to Monnetier-Mornex for coffee above the city. Then the long middle stage to the Plateau des Glières, the Col des Aravis with a choice between gravel and tarmac, the Col de la Colombière, the Chartreuse at Le Reposoir, and the descent into Cluses before the run back along the lake.
The field that drove it followed no brief. A 205 CTI behind a GT3 RS, an original Mini Cooper ahead of a Triumph Dolomite, a Saab 900 Turbo somewhere in between. Different decades, different budgets, same hairpins, same coffee stop. Nobody was told what to bring. Twelve equipes brought what they drive.
A roadbook sets the sequence. The cars set the pace.
