Test Drive Mini Cooper S Rallye: Baby Call

Ngokukhiqizwa kabusha kwemoto kaRauno Altonen ku-track rally yaseMonte Carlo.

Ngo-1959, iMini yokuqala yaphuma kulayini womhlangano. Eminyakeni emihlanu kamuva, iBriton encane yaphatha okokuqala iMonte Carlo Rally eyingqayizivele. Namuhla sifuna imikhondo yeqhawe langaphambili le-rally eFrance Alps-Maritimes.

I-V emise okwesishiyagalombili iqhathaniswa ne-4,7 litre inline-four ene-285 hp. ngokumelene nama-cubic metres ayi-1071 angenangqondo. isentimitha no-92 hp. Naphezu kokulinganiswa kwamandla okuqala, isisusa esikhulu ekuphawuleni ngeMonte Carlo Rally yango-1964 kwakungu "UDavid wehlula uGoliyathi". Ngenkathi amaBeatles ehlasela phezulu emhlabeni womculo ohambweni lwabo lokuqala lomhlaba, uMini uphendukezela imibono nemiqondo emidlalweni yamarally yamazwe omhlaba ebheke phansi. Eminyakeni engama-52 edlule, umshayeli waseBrithani wawina iMonte edumile.

I-Mini - Monte Carlo Winner

Silandela ezinyathelweni zompetha omncane odumile ngokufana nomhlangano womshayeli wefektri wango-1968 uRauno Altonen. Ngejubane lokuzilibazisa kwedolobha, imoto, enenombolo yokuqala engu-18 kanye nomshini wokugijima wokugijima womjaho, ihamba phakathi kwama-boutique aphezulu kakhulu kanye nama-bistros agcwele, ihlola ukujika okuyingqayizivele kwesekethe elincane le-Formula 1.

I-Rascas, Lewis, The Pool - Ngokungafani ne-Monte Carlo Rally yesimanje, phakathi kuka-1951 no-1964 abashayeli abagcinanga nje ngokushayela emigwaqweni yezintaba e-French Alpes-Maritimes, kodwa futhi baqeda isigaba sejubane eliphezulu ekupheleni komhlangano. emzileni womjaho eMonaco.

Ngokuhambisana nokushesha kwezikhathi, umthetho wokukhubazeka wangaleso sikhathi, owawususa izinzuzo zezimoto zevolumu ephezulu, wanikeza inzuzo enkulu eqenjini lefektri yeBritish Motor Corporation (BMC) lase-Oxford eduze kwase-Abingdon. Emuva kwemizuliswano emihlanu, ukuzwakalisa kwango-1964 kwase kuphelile - uPaddy Hopkirk kanye nozakwabo umshayeli uHenry Lyden bathole amaphuzu abo amaMini angu-30,5 ngaphambi kwezintandokazi zaseSweden uBo Jungfelt noFergus Sager ngenjini enamandla kakhulu. I-Ford Falcon.

“Uma kuqhathaniswa nemigwaqo yasezintabeni, isifunda seFormula 1 eMonte sasiwumdlalo wezingane kithina bashayeli; sasibonakala kahle lapha futhi nomgwaqo wawubanzi kakhulu,” kukhumbula u-Altonen ngomoya odangele. Ngokunqoba kokugcina okuyisishiyagalombili emibuthanweni ehlukahlukene yamazwe ngamazwe, umshayeli odumile usengumshayeli wefekthri encane ophumelele kakhulu. Ngo-1967, abakwaFinn bathole ilungelo lokupaka imoto enhle, ehlotshiswe ngengubo evamile ebomvu evuthayo yenkampani (i-tartan ebomvu nophahla olumhlophe), phambi kwebhokisi lenkosana eduze nesigodlo e-Monte Carlo, ukuthola umnqobi we-Monte Carlo. indebe. ".

IMini ikhombise izinzuzo ezinkulu ekubambeni

Impumelelo ye-British Dwarf Rally isekelwe eresiphi elula. “Amandla eMini abengemangazi. Izimoto ezincane, ezithambile, ezidonsa ngamasondo angaphambili zazinenzuzo ekubambeni iqhwa,” kuchaza uPeter Falk, owayeyinhloko yomnyango wemijaho wale nkampani. I-Porsche kanye nomshayeli obambisene naye ku-Monte Carlo Rally yango-1965. Kanye nomshayeli we-Porsche wangaleso sikhathi u-Herbert Linge, i-Falk yazuza isibalo sesihlanu esigculisayo emdlalweni wokuqala ngqa we-911 Falk.

Ngisho noquqaba lwamasondo acijile kumasondo amancane ama-intshi ayishumi ama-Minilite lukhombisa ukuthi umgwaqo omile usomile namuhla. Noma besilindele isimo somgwaqo esibi ngokweqile ngoqweqwe lukakhokho oluyingozi nokunyathela iqhwa, njengaku-1965, besingazi nje. Ngenkathi i-retro replica enesistimu yayo eqondile yokuqondisa ijikeleza kahle ngokugoba okuqinile kweTurin Pass, singaqagela nje ukuthi ingakanani ingcindezi nokukhathala okwenziwa yibo abashayeli bezindiza.

Kuze kube namuhla, umjaho wango-1965 uthathwa njengonzima kakhulu emlandweni we-Monte Carlo Rally. Khona-ke uhlelo lwaluhlanganisa amakhilomitha angaba ngu-4600 kuphela. Kwabahlanganyeli abangu-237, bangu-22 kuphela abakwazile ukufinyelela kowamanqamu eMonaco ngesikhathi kuneqhwa elihlasele esifundeni saseJura saseFrance. “Uma kuqhathaniswa naleyo minyaka, imibuthano yanamuhla ifana neyokuzijabulisa yezingane ngoba mifushane kakhulu,” kusho owayengumpetha waseYurophu u-Altonen.

Ngo-1965, ababambiqhaza baqala ukusuka eWarsaw, eStockholm, eMinsk naseLondon baya eMonaco. Ngaphambili kuneBMC Cooper S enomjaho ongu-52 nomaka omnyama nomhlophe we-AJB 44B esembozweni esifushane sangaphambili esivikelwe kuphela yimichilo yesikhumba eminyene.

Isivikelo somoya esishisayo somhlangano wasebusika

U-Timo Makinen kanye nomshayeli okanye naye u-Paul Easter baphethe izigaba eziyisithupha zasebusuku, nemoto yabo yerali engu-610kg indize izikhathi ezinhlanu, okubeka isikhathi esisheshayo kumafayineli amaphakathi. Imininingwane emincane kodwa ebalulekile ibasiza ukuthi bagcine ukubonakala okuhle ngisho naseqhweni naseqhweni - ikakhulukazi ngokubamba iqhaza e-Monte Carlo, umnyango wemijaho we-BMC uklama iwindshield eshisayo.

Izikhathi ezintathu ukujaha ebusuku kudlula enhliziyweni ye "Monte" - umzila weCol de Turini. Esigabeni esinzima kakhulu, abashayeli bezindiza kuzodingeka bakhuphuke besuka endaweni elele yasentabeni yaseMoulin banqamule ithafa lephaseji elinobude obungamamitha angu-1607 ukuya ekupheleni kwesigaba edolobhaneni laseLa Bolin-Vesubie. Amajika abukhali angenakubalwa, imigudu edizzy; ngakolunye uhlangothi, udonga olungalingani lwamadwala, ngakolunye, umgodi ongenalutho onalasha ojulile - konke lokhu bekulokhu kuyingxenye yokuphila kwansuku zonke kwe-Monte. Eqinisweni, akunandaba ukuthi ukujula kwalasha kungu-10, 20 noma 50 amamitha, noma uma ushaya isihlahla - uma ucabanga ngalezi zinto, akufanele ubambe iqhaza embuthanweni, okungenani e-Monte - U-Altonen uchaza okuhlangenwe nakho kokuhlasela okuyingozi e-Maritime Alps.

Izindonga ezigcina ngamadolo eziphakeme phambi kwemisinga ejulile zikhuthaza inhlonipho futhi zibangele lowo ofuna namuhla udumo lwezemidlalo oludlule ukuthi anqamule ngephutha unyawo kusondo le-accelerator. Ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, iphuzu eliphakeme kakhulu lendima ekugcineni livela phambi kwempumulo emfushane kaM Mini. Ingabe lena yindawo yokupaka eshiywe ingekho enkulu kunenkundla yebhola lesandla, isigaba esidume kakhulu seMonte Carlo Rally?

Isimo esingajwayelekile ethafeni laseTurin

Njengokungathi kukude kakhulu nentokozo phakathi nemijaho, ithafa eliphakeme ngamamitha ayi-1607 langena ekucabangeni okucabangayo. Abagibeli bodwa badlula bedlula iMini egijimayo bese bengena kwenye yezindawo zokudlela ezine zaseTurin, kuyilapho abagibeli bamabhayisikili abodwa bephefumula kakhulu ekuphakameni kokugibela, kungenjalo ukuthula okukhohlisayo kuyabusa.

Futhi kanye, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi se-Monte Carlo Rally ngeminyaka yama-60s, amashumi ezinkulungwane zezibukeli aphithizela lapha, alandelana ngokuqinile ngemuva kwezinsimbi. Izibani zokusesha ezinamandla nokucwayiza kwabathwebuli bezithombe kuphendule indawo yokupaka yaba isizinda somhlangano wasebusuku. “Ekuqaleni yonke into yaba mnyama engxenyeni enesivinini esikhulu, kwathi ngokuphazima kweso phezu kwegquma, wasuka waya ethafeni laseTurin, lapho kukhanya khona njengosuku. Ukuze singamangali, sasihlale sehlisa ithoshi elincane,” kukhumbula owawina uMonte u-Altonen, olungele namuhla ukuwela esimweni esingavamile salezo zinsuku.

Kodwa-ke, u-Timo Makinen wayekhuthele kakhulu ekugcineni isimo sengqondo esihle eqenjini lefektri elincane. "UMakinen wayeyi-prankster, ngesikhathi egibela iMini yakhe emthambekeni wokushushuluza, ngemuva kwezindlu," uMadeleine Manizia, umpheki endaweni yokudlela yase-Yeti ethafeni, uyakhumbula njengoba ebuka i-retro Mini yethu ngokumangala. “Ngesikhathi efika lapha, uTimo wayehlala edla inyama yenkomo kanye namafriji futhi ephuza ne-whisky eningi emotweni. Khona-ke isimo sengqondo esihle saqinisekiswa,” kusho umyeni wakhe u-Jacques, owayengumnikazi we-Mini Cooper S eluhlaza ngokumnyama, ngokumamatheka okukhulu.

Luphetha kanjalo uhambo ezinyathelweni zabalingiswa baseMonte Carlo - ngenyama yenkomo kanye namafrimu aseFrance. Ayikho i-whisky emotweni, ngoba umthombo wamanje wesimo esihle kunombolo 18 usilindile, sibheke phambili kwenye ukwehla okusheshayo ngeTurin Pass.
