  • 1968 Monte Carlo Rally – First Victory in the 911
    1968 Monte Carlo Rally – first victory in the 911 The Porsche 911 took three consecutive wins in the Monte Carlo Rally, with Vic Elford and David Stone delivering the first of these victories in 1968. In an ideal development for Porsche, the 1968 Monte Carlo Rally was the first to be subject to new rules that removed restrictions relating to cubic capacity classes and the use of professional and amateur drivers. The system applied as of that year boiled down to a single maxim: fastest car wins! Another factor that was markedly different to previous years was the weather. The 37th Monte Carlo Rally was held in almost spring-like temperatures, with these mild conditions extending up into the mountains. The teams demanded racing tyres, but the available stocks proved insufficient. This led to additional tyres featuring a soft mixture, little tread and no spikes being flown in by the tyre manufacturers via Nice and transported to the special tests. While the French driver Gérard Larrousse dominated the early stages of this edition of the Monte Carlo Rally in his Renault Alpine 1300, Vic Elford and David Stone bided their time in the 911 S 2.0 and waited for an opening. The ‘night of the long knives’, which was open to the sixty fastest teams, initially saw Larrousse further extend his lead before Elford hit back. Completing the special test at the Col de la Couillole nearly a minute faster than the Alpine, he duly raced into the lead. The final tests then saw the top drivers take even greater risks.

Two years later, Jean-Emile- Amédée Rédélé was born on May 17, 1922.

  • Porsche at the Monte Carlo Rally
    Natural talent Porsche at the Monte Carlo Rally The Monte Carlo Rally is rightly regarded as the “queen of rallies”: It is a treacherous beast, a mammoth undertaking, where only the best can emerge victorious. And almost 50 years ago, in 1968, Porsche achieved this very feat for the first time – with the 911 T. Racing success is in the DNA of Porsche sports cars, particularly the 911. The first series model had barely hit the market when in January 1965, the now equally legendary Porsche employees Herbert Linge and Peter Falk jumped into one of the new 2+2 seaters and set off for the Monte Carlo Rally. Despite, or perhaps because of the heavy snowfall, they put in a stunning performance with the rear- engined, rear-wheel-drive vehicle, reaching the finishing line in the port of Monaco in fifth position – an impressive debut. Meanwhile, second place went to the Porsche 904 GTS driven by Eugen Böhringer and his co-driver Rolf Wütherich, who was sitting alongside James Dean when he was fatally injured in a car crash in 1955. Power, traction, agility and reliability: These are the features that continue to characterise the 911 to this day. Back then, they shaped its talent as a veritable rally car, and the first titles soon came pouring in: In 1966 and 1967, Günter Klass from Stuttgart, the speedy Pole Sobieslaw Zasada and racing all-rounder Vic Elford won no fewer than three European Rally Championships – the top league in the sport at the time – behind the wheel of a 911.

  • Stars of the Stage
    STARS OF THE STAGE When the World Rally Championship first began in 1973, only the car manufacturers fought for a crown; it wasn’t until 1979 that the drivers were recognised with their own world title. They soon made up for lost time, however, and over the past four decades the WRC has been a constant source of drama, heroism and displays of unbelievable skill. So as the Festival celebrates 40 years of the World Rally Drivers’ Championship this weekend, we remember some of those who have fought for and won the sport’s greatest prize STORY BY ANGUS FRAZER Left: Petter Solberg and co-driver Phil Mills celebrate victory in the 2002 Rally GB. Right: Sébastien Ogier powers his Citroën to third in the 2019 Argentine Rally Rallying’s first World Champion proved that while sublime skill and dogged determination are both prerequisites for victory, ruthlessness Björn is not. Described by those who knew him as a true gentleman (and sometimes as a teddy bear), the late Björn Waldegård won the inaugural World Rally Drivers’ Championship in 1979 (prior to that, the competition had Waldegård been held for two years as an FIA ‘Cup for Drivers’, won by Sandro Munari in 1977 and Markku Alén in 1978). All through that season, Waldegård battled Hannu Mikkola, his team-mate not just at Ford in the pace-setting Escort RS but also at Mercedes-Benz. The German company had 1979 hired the duo to pilot the powerful if unwieldy 5.0-litre V8 automatic 450SLC Coupé on the Safari and Ivory Coast events.
