「Giro、、」は、サポートエントリーが許されています。我々の「・122」AMAZONとS大先輩と私の宿泊代、パーティ料込みのエントリー代が１０万円。サポートエントリーは、宿泊無しで、パーティ料込み２人１台で６万円です。だったらエントリーした方が良さそうなものですが、Ｏさんの「・123」AMAZON123GTは、現在ミッションのオーバーホールを含む大リペア中。ということで、「来年のために？」我々「・122」AMAZONのサポートエントリーと相成った次第。Ｏさんは、先日の「ジャパン・ヒストリックカーツアー」でクラシックカーラリー初出場ながらクラス６位を獲得した実力の持ち主。我々にとっては、心強いサポート隊です。そして、ゼッケン「Ｓ３７」を付けたサポートカーが注目の的。何と、まだ、日本で数台しか登録されていないＢＭＷ３３５「オープン・メタルトップ」なのです。２週間前に納車されたという、一千万円にも近い流麗なクーペボディの豪華本革内装車内に、何と、オイルやAMAZONの部品を詰め込んだ段ボールや、工具類、ボロキレ、などなどを「惜しげもなく」満載。ルーフが３段階に折れ畳まれてトランク部に収納されるので、車内満載も仕方ないのですが、誰もが車内を覗き込んでびっくりしていました。この我々の超豪華なサポート車は、常に「・122」AMAZONを追従、Ｏさんと奥様が、あれやこれやと、アドバイスをしてくれました。
Each entrant is allowed a support car at the "Giro". Entry fee for the rally itself was 100,000 yen which included a party and a room at the hotel for 2. The support car entry was 60,000 yen for 2 including a party. When you think about it, at this price, you would think it makes more sense to enter the rally, but for Mr.O, his .123 Amazon 123GT was in the the shop for a transmission overhaul and other. Mr. O had finished 6th at the recent Japan Historic Rally and was ideal as a support car. The support car with car no.S37 turned out to be an eye turner. The BMW was a 355 open metaltop. Only a few cars had made it to Japan and cost more than 10 mils yen. With its elegant coupe body and luxurious leather interior, the BMW was packed with Amazon parts in cardboard boxes and other misc. tools and old rags. The trunk existed for the sole purpose of storing the 3 part foldable roof so everything had to be put in the rear of the car. This extra luxury support car followed my .122 Amazon with Mr. O's wife giving us timely advice.
