The 2020 Monte Carlo Rally: Two motor sport legends are revving up

The Monte Carlo Rally is widely regarded as the cradle of rally sport and is an event with tremendous appeal. In 1980, at the age of 32, Walter Röhrl and his co-pilot Christan Geistdörfer entered the list of winners, thereby fulfilling his greatest dream. With the Fiat 131 Abarth, the “dream team of rally sport” cannot be beaten this season and on top of that wins the world championship title. Three more Monte victories were to follow in the years 82 to 84, each time in a rally car of a different make.

40 years after their first victory, the two full-throttle athletes took a trip back in time in 2020 and took part in the Monte Carlo Historique Rally, this time in the Porsche 911 SC. It goes without saying that there was only one goal: to receive the trophy from the prince's hand in the end.

• Röhrl and Geistdörfer up close: detailed interviews and stories from 40 years of Monte
• Exclusive insights into a piece of sports history: numerous new and historical photos of the popular Monte Carlo Rally
• Rousing texts, written by top journalists in motorsport
• A portrait of rally legends: the only publication on the subject authorized by Röhrl and Geistdörfer

Sharp curves, long blades: Röhrl and Geistdörfer back in the Monte Carlo Rally

If you hear Röhrl and Geistdörfer talking about the notorious "Night of the Long Knives", the night stage over the Col de Turini, you can still feel the fascination, but also the tremendous tension and professionalism with which they achieve this top sporting performance in the Rally Monte Carlo in 1980. Now the two rally drivers report exclusively on their anniversary participation in the oldtimer rally and talk about their very special "working group", which produced countless victories and two world championship titles. "Our 4 Monte-Siege" is a unique motorsport book - the ideal gift for men and women with petrol in their blood!
