Sümeg to Pécs (358.3 km)
23 June 2022
Quite apart from the equestrian display, banquet,
and Ean Lewin’s birthday, last night had been a
wild one, thanks in part to a powerful storm that
swept over the area bringing thunder, lightning
and torrential rain.
Those with crops in the fields, no doubt welcomed the
extra precipitation but, on a day of three Tests and one
Regularity, the extra moisture had some crews looking at
their tyres as they made their pre-departure checks.
The first Test at the Pannonia Ring, more used to
motorcycle and sidecar events, was a drivers delight. A set
of sharp turns and long straights had been set out within
Days end, Széchenyi Square in Pécs: Barry Nash and Malcolm Lister, 1969 Rover P5B; Roy Stephenson and Mark Bramall, 1965 Ford Mustang;
Otakar Chládek and Jindřiška Žemličková, 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL
