Come on, just how happy would you be to be able to take part in one of the most iconic rally events in the world? Not in the current class of top rally cars, but in one of the cars belonging to past eras of the sport. Monte Carlo Rally and its historic edition are...
Here are some of the images from team’s and promoter’s archives, covering the shakedown session of 2016 Rallye Monte Carlo. Today, we’re hours away from the first proper stage – this year is going to be a grand one, “I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in...
