The photo reflects the friendship of two good men, two motorsport patrons in Catalonia. It’s made by Mia Vidal at the Winter Rally, at 2 a.m. on a frozen December, having a hot chocolate at the end of the Leg. Notice how they look? they admire!<\/p>\n

They are the two people I know who have done more to help others live their motorsport.<\/p>\n

Berto, Montserrat and his children have always helped everyone who needs it from Garatge Internacional.<\/p>\n

RallyClassics started their first adventure with them, in Salt, with the first Winter Rally of 2002 … but we knew them before.<\/p>\n

Papi B\u00e4bler had long since retired from the racing world, and Berto had him returned, with the excuse of regularity; and he came to help us grow. Berto prepared a beautiful Lancia Fulvia, and then an Autobianchi A112 Abarth. Papi was always very optimistic and laughing – as Berto – and until the last day (at the age of 85) he was participating in the rallies we organized. I remember him, at 5am, at the end of the second leg of the Historic Costa Brava Rally, where everyone was getting very tired, and he -with a smile from ear to ear- said in front of the young people of 50-60 years old “I would return to restart now, instead of going to bed, I’m having a lot of fun\u201d. Next to him, Berto and Montserrat, waiting for nothing to be missed, waiting for Mia to arrive within minutes – with another Autobianchi for racing and assistance – for a review of Papi’s car, before leaving. to sleep.<\/p>\n

Two good men, Papi and Berto, who have taught us to work with humility and passion.<\/p>\n

Two families, B\u00e4bler and Vidal, deserve all my respect, admiration and grateful.<\/p>\n
