Short history of the Rallye Monte Carlo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First held in 1911, the ‘Monte’ was a pure endurance test for man and machine in the first decades. It was a matter of accurately maintaining speeds and target times and completing some tasks along the track. Today, we know something similar mainly from various classic car rallies. Thanks to the typical date in January, especially the road and weather conditions made for exciting rides. Since 1973, this rally has almost continuously been the prelude and at the same time the highlight in the calendar of the World Rally Championship. Until the 1980s, there was traditionally a rally to the starting point in Monaco. For this purpose, the participants started from various locations in Europe and drove on the roads past checkpoints to Monte Carlo in a target time. Afterwards, the actual rally started.<\/p>\n\n\n
