Q: Monte Carlo Rallye concentration routes

[GeorgeK]

I don't know where to post, so here goes:
Does someone have information about the concentration routes of the Monte Carlo Rally, in the 60's and 70's?
The final stages seem well known, but I could not find any info about the routes the crews had to make from the starting cities (Oslo, Amsterdam, Hamburg, etc...). It was usually 3000+ Kms.

Hi George,

I bought this book set recently, and while I don't remember reading about detailed route information (granted, I haven't read through the whole thing yet), it is still a terrific reference that may have what you're looking for.

Jeffrey,
I have these books as well, but they don't describe the itineraries of the concentration routes.
I would like to re-do one of these routes with my kid when he is old enough to drive. Which should coincide (wishful thinking) with the resto of the incoming '69.

Sounds like George wants to personally run these routes!

Hi Rick,
Oh yes, that would be a great thing, esp. one of the '69 routes with a '69 car.
My kid *might* have tasted 911 driving and *might be* smitten.
