10 days and 7000 kilometres long, the tour de France was the final chapter of this years’ GT championship. Another Porsche prey it would seem. Favourites were Ballot-Lena, Fréquelin, Piot, Almeras and Lafosse with their group 4 Carrera RSR’s. Two prototype Ligiers were the opposition, with two Panteras and two Lancia Stratos as outsiders. The second Stratos was out by the second stage, but the other one was in the lead after stage 2. But Larrousse took over after day two in the powerful Ligier, while team-mate Chasseuil lost a lot of time with engine problems. Alas, while Chasseuil could continue the engine of Larrousse failed on day 3 - he had to retire. Munari took over once again, battling with Ballot-Lena. They were followed by a bunch of Porsches, with the Pantera in 10th. 19th overall and leading group 1: Marie-Claude Beaumont, who finished eventually in a great 12th overall and won group 1. Chasseuil won one stage after the other and closed in, but dropped back with transmission troubles. Haldi lost third place only a few kilometres before the finish with brake problems. When Ballot-Lena retired with gearbox problems the victory was for Lancia. |
