Thanks for the 79 results Janusz,

I have some remarks/questions regarding your results:
Galway: you give Paul Windsor in 7th place... I had it allready but in 6th... who is 6th and 7th then???
Lorraine : 8th place François Grandjean (FRA)/Pascal Ruer (FRA)
Donegal: In my DB I have Vincent & Richard Bonner in several results... here you give Vincent & Michael Bonner, is there a "new" Bonner, or is it the "same"???
Chataigne: 8th place must be: Bernard Lagorsse/G. Chevarin... and for 10th I think that's Philippe Malbran/Philippe Benatier wich usually raced together...
Algarve: Ojuara's codriver seems to be Castelo Branco.
and Finally, for 79, I'm still missing Saarland Rally 7th and 8th places... if you have this...

Regards Américo

Name of this rally becomes from from the name of the base-town Warszawa (not Warswa), so you can name it Rally Warszawa or Warsaw Rally, Rallye de Varsovie or so... The original name was: "Międzynarodowy Rajd Warszawski Polskiego Fiata" what means The International Warsaw Rally of Polski Fiat. That addition "Polski Fiat" was because it was sponsored by FSO - producer of Polski Fiats.

Thanks Janusz,

For 1979 let's clarify Galway's results...
I Read in a previous post (#1033):
Galway
2nd Mick O’Connell/Anne O’Connell Ford Escort
3rd Noel Smith/ Ian Turkington Porsche Carrera
4th Alan Carter/ Brendan Neville Ford Escort RS2000
5th Trevor Cathers/ Seamus McCanny Avenger

This doesn't fit with your 6th place: Trevor Cathers :( ...
I assume that Coleman has been requalified and he's the winner...
So here's what I have regarding this forum results and "El Mundo deportivo" (http://hemeroteca.elmundodeportivo.e...46839/pdf.html)

1. #??? Billy Coleman (IRL)/Frank O'Donoghue (IRL) - Ford Escort RS1800 -
2. #??? Mike O'Connell (IRL)/Anne O'Connell (IRL) - Ford Escort RS1800 -
3. #??? Noel Smith (GBR)/Ian Turkington (GBR) - Porsche 911 Carrera -
4. #??? Brian Nelson (IRL)/Rodney Cole (IRL) - Ford Escort RS -
5. #??? Alan Carter (NZL)/Brendan Neville (NZL) - Ford Escort RS2000 -
6. #??? Trevor Cathers (GBR)/Seamus McCanny (GBR) - Chrysler Avenger -
7. #??? Paul Windsor (GBR)/Brian Goff (GBR) - Ford Escort RS -
8. #??? Simon Everett (GBR)/Jim? Bowie (GBR) - Ford Escort RS -
9. #??? Vincent Bonner (GBR)/Michael Bonner (GBR) - Chrysler Sunbeam -
10. #??? Dessie McCartney (IRL)/Bertie Law (GBR) - Chrysler Sunbeam

Is this right???

Thanks everibody and a merry chrithmas!

This is a picture of Maurice Gatsonides/Ed Pennybacker Triumph TR3 taken on Coupe des Alpes Rally 1956. "Gatso" won the 1600-2000ccm class and was 8th overall.
