Ik heb gisteren een aantal videobanden te leen gekregen waaronder de videoband: Merci Jeannot, een 125 minuten durende special over Jean Ragnotti.
De naam Ragnotti kende ik eigenlijk alleen van de Clio, maar ik heb gisteravond de videoband bekeken en met verbazing naar die man zijn rijkunsten zitten kijken!!!
Die man gaat een partij hard met een R5 turbo (zo'n brede), Clio A7/Maxi, en met de maxi Megane, ongelooflijk!!!
Zijn er meer mensen die deze band gezien hebben, of misschien de man in kwestie in actie gezien hebben?
Heb even gegoogled en hij heeft absoluut veel autosport ervaring.
Deze videoband moet je gezien hebben!!!

Outside F1, Ragnotti is Renault’s most famous driver bar none as almost every car he has ever competed in has either been a Renault or powered by a Renault engine.
His career started in 1967, at the wheel of a Renault 8 Gordini in rallying for which he is best known. Come the early 1980s he would be signed up by Renault as an official team driver and achieve famous victories for the ‘Régie’ on the 1981 Monté Carlo Rally and Tour de Corse (Corsican) Rally in 1982 and ’85 respectively.
He also enjoyed a hugely successful racing career with Renault. In Formula Renault, he finished runner-up in the 1975 European series to René Arnoux. In 1977, he won the French rallycross title in a V6 Renault A310 and the following year finished fourth in the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance classic aboard the long-tailed A442B Alpine.
A decade later, he won the French Production title in the flame-spitting 4X4 Renault 21 Turbo and in 1990 was also crowned Group N champion in a 5 GT Turbo. In between, there were endless rally victories and in 1991 he showed he had lost none of his flair on the stages by flinging Renault’s new Clio rally car to victory on the Grasse Alpin event, ahead of much more powerful turbo-charged, four-wheel-drive machinery.
Ragnotti continued driving Renaults until his retirement from competition in 1997. He now works for Renault as an ambassador for the company and, in the last six years, has become a popular figure at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
