101 years since the first Monte Carlo Rally in 1911 started by Prince Albert I of Monaco as an endurance and adventure to drive the 2053 kilometres/2190 miles in their classic cars over the frozen Alps in winter into the sunshine of Monaco and immortalised in the 1969 film “Monte Carlo or Bust”.  In that year only 16 out of 23 cars made it!
