Which conversely meant manufacturers made huge efforts to participate and get prizes, so they could triumphantly advertise these achievements, which is why Monte, RAC, East African Safari, Alpine etc were so famous. There was one event - 1972 Bandama/Ivory Coast rally - where there were no finishers by the end.
Baube ◊ 2025-12-05 20:57	i'd be curious of what the podium ceremony looks like when no one finishes the race...
