Tuthill have built another 997 RGT. It will be driven by John Coyne (USA) and Stephen Joyce (IRL) at the 2017 Donegal International Rally (June 16-18).

It has been talked on the Net without big details, but Alpine has announced it will start an A110 racing cup in 2018. Having the 911 experience in mind (most of RGt’s were adapted racing units), we can only hope these A110 Cup models can became the base for the return of Alpine to rally!

Thanks for posting the video!
Short summary from the rally. Romain Dumas (Porsche) was fastest in R-GT class until SS6. He was 9th overall at that time. Unfortunately he had puncture on SS7 and lost the lead. So the R-GT class was won by Fabrizio Andolfi (Fiat 124 Abarth). He was 1st in R-GT class and 11th overall.

The Alpine A110 Cup (1.8T, 270hp, 1050kg) was revealed last month. Developed by Signatech (Alpine LMP2 partner), it’ll be used on Alpine’s 2018 racing cup. A nice base for a future RGT homologation; fingers crossed!

Unfortunately results are not very good. Delecour and his Aston are 20th overall after 9 stages.

Thanks for the video! I think it is not too bad. He is 18th after 12 stages, while Dumas in the Porsche is 13th. Hope he will start in Monte with the Aston Martin.
