Thanks Tjeerd!

Hi,

Does anyone have information as to where I'd find the entry lists for the 1978, 1979 & 1980 Manx International Rally.

Thanks,

Anihel

I have the results of the 1980 event which includes a start list. I can scan this and email as a PDF if you PM me with your email address.

Sorry I can't help with the other years.

I have managed to confuse myself (not difficult these days); was 1980 the first year TCS did the results? When did DTS get involved?

Hi Martin

I have a copy of the 1980 results as I was servicing on the event that year & Rothmans seemed to be handing out copies to anyone who asked. The cover says they were "computer-printed by the business centre", with a Douglas address. The presentation of the results looks very much like yours but there's no mention on any of the pages of who produced the data. I'm in the process of scanning them for "Anihel" & have pointed him to David's archives for later years.

DTS first year was the 'Silver Jubilee' event in 1988, but the oldest results I can find since 1980 are 1991.

Thanks Steve, must go into the loft and consult my archive. I should have all the years from 1980 to 2005 except 1999. Thinking about it I believe 1980 was our first year. It was the year we transitioned from using a time sharing bureau to using our own micro computers; North Start Horizons with a 4MHz processor, 48KB (yes KB) of RAM and twin 5.25" floppy disk drives. Not sure if it was 1980 or 1981 that the press system made its debut having been finished (more or less) on the ferry over to the Island.

In 1990, Fina Jolly Club entered the following World Championship rallies:

Monte Carlo; Cerrato/Cerri, Saby/Grataloup
Portugal; Cerrato/Cerri
Corse; Saby/Grataloup
Acropolis; Fiorio/Pirollo
1000 Lakes; Fiorio/Pirollo
San Remo; Fiorio/Pirollo, Cerrato/Cerri
R.A.C.; Droogmans/Joosten

Please correct if something's wrong, or add if something's missing here.

PS Saby's entries (Monte & Corse) are not listed as Jolly Club, but as Lancia Fina. But I believe this is the same team, isn't it?

Nothing, again?

Does anybody know if Didier Auriol drove with Martini Lancia or Jolly Club at the 1990 RAC?

According to Holmes' yearbook Jolly Club entered following crews in following rallies in 1990:
MC - Cerrato/Cerri;
P - Cerrato/Cerri;
GR - Fiorio/Pirollo;
FIN - Fiorio/Pirollo;
I - Cerrato/Cerri, Fiorio/Pirollo;
GB - Auriol/Occelli, Droogmans/Joosten;

Bruno Saby's entrant was Lancia Fina Racing, but no idea who prepared and serviced his Lancia;
