Post by: FrontMan on January 19, 2018, 04:23:02 PM: ......just when you thought I'd gone away! How about Ravel, circa 1924??
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: Wendax on January 21, 2018, 03:17:21 AM: Very good, locked for you. As I don't know the exact model, just tell me why it looks the way it does.
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: FrontMan on January 21, 2018, 04:08:07 AM: Perhaps it was being prepared for the 1925 Le Mans race, in which case I think it would have been a 12hp model.
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: Wendax on January 21, 2018, 04:10:12 AM: Yes, it was prepared to race, so the point will be yours. It wasn't Le Mans though. Do you want to have another try at the venue?
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: FrontMan on January 21, 2018, 06:25:51 PM: ....well, let's try the Belgian Grand Prix. And if it's not that it's one of the more obscure Hill Climbs!
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: Wendax on January 22, 2018, 02:51:09 AM: No, you can stay in France, and it was not a hill climb.
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: FrontMan on January 22, 2018, 02:19:28 PM: ....I have no further knowledge of Ravel's competition record, so would happily trade the generous point for the information you have!
Title: Re: Wendax 2461
Post by: Wendax on January 22, 2018, 02:33:57 PM: Okay, according to my source this Ravel was driven at the journée des records in Arpajon by a driver called La Pédale.
