This took place over the weekend but you wouldn't know from tv sports coverage!

A Welshman finished 3rd (by a few seconds) and led most of the rally. Bear in mind that this is a World Championship round!

 
I love the way they slide the rear of the car round while the front is almost stationary, on the tight hairpins! :cool:
 
50 years ago this week, Nissan brought a Works-prepped Z 'test car' for Rauno Aaltonen and a small team of Japanese engineers to drive on the Monte Carlo Rallye route, just a few days after the 1970 event had finished.

Their mission was to gather data and feedback in snow & ice conditions, on the actual Monte roads, in preparation for a Works assault in Zs for the 1971 event:
