Rally the Globes year of epic driving adventures reached a fittingly triumphant crescendo with the conquering heroes of its spectacular Austria to Athens Challenge being crowned in the ancient capital of Greece. After two weeks of memorable motoring from the snow-capped Alps through the less explored parts of the Balkans to the warmth of the Aegean Sea, this time the spoils were hard-earned and well-deserved.
Top honours in the Pre-War category went to Shane Houlihan and Andrew Boland in their indomitable 1936 Ford V8 Convertible, while it was the white 1965 Porsche 911 of Clint Smith and Martin Jones that finished first among the more modern Classics. While both crews led almost from the outset in what were often demanding conditions, they were under pressure throughout.
The Ford was pushed hard by the experienced pairing of Graham and Marina Goodwin in their 1929 Bentley 4 Le Mans while, having supplanted the early leading 1973 Escort RS1600 of Ean and Ali Lewin, the Porsche still never had any breathing space. It was first chased hard by the 1968 Morris 1800 Mk2 shared by Roy Stephenson and Peter Robinson and thereafter by the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC of Reto Mebes and Mark Bramall. Victories were thus hard-earned and all the more rewarding for it.
Rally the Globes 21st event started on 29 September in the magnificent Schloss Pichlarn set beneath the massive bulk of Grimming, the highest freestanding mountain in the Alps, and concluded hundreds of hairpins later with a prize- giving dinner more than 4,000kms and 14 contrasting days later on 13 October in the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Adding real spice to the mix, those between included a couple of American muscle cars from the 1960s as well as a contrasting pair from the 1950s: a stylish Aston Martin DB2/4 and a plucky VW Beetle. The distinctive Morris 1800 Mk2 was also worthy of note it was one of seven originally built for the 1968 London to Sydney Rally.
