The 1971 Rallye Suisse tested crews with a blend of high-altitude mountain roads, narrow village lanes, and slick tarmac sections through varied spring conditions. Held primarily in the western and central Alpine regions, the event emphasized technical driving and reliability over sheer speed.
The course wound through cantons including Vaud, Bern, and Valais, offering quick changes between wet asphalt, gravel connectors, and steep hillside climbs.
Snowmelt and scattered spring showers added slipperiness to exposed sectors, requiring drivers to adapt rapidly across surfaces.
Nicolas and Vial displayed seamless teamwork and outstanding grip control to deliver a dominant win, confirming the Alpine A110’s continued reign on twisty European rally stages.
The 1971 Rallye Suisse rewarded cool heads and nimble chassis, with Nicolas and the Alpine-Renault proving once again why they were the masters of mid-European rallying.
