The Monte Carlo Rally. 'Me very name conjures up the glamour, the romance and adventure of' an Oppcnheim novel. And the world's greatest international motoring event has never failed to produce all the thrills and excitement that might be expected from its title.
S. C. H. Davis, of The AuTocAR, internationally famous as a racing and trials driver, has driven to Monte from the very ends of Europe as a competitor in the Rally, and he describes his many adventures on the road in a racy, colourful style that brings them vividly to life. He writes, too, of his experiences in the hair-raising Alpine Trials, of the brilliant French Rallye Gastronomique, of the fun that goes with driving in the "Old Crocks' Race "—the annual London to Brighton run for veteran cars organized by the R.A.C.—and of other trials and events in which he has taken part.
Everyone who has ever sensed—even at second hand—the joys of handling a fast, powerful, well-mannered car will enjoy this book, sharing with the author his relish of the delights and dangers that make up the fascination of long-cli5;tance motoring.
