In 1968, Porsche celebrated its first Monte Carlo Rally victory, marking a significant milestone in its motorsport history. The journey began in 1952 when Porsche first entered the rally, but due to unique regulations that included various handicaps, their teams often finished in the middle of the pack. It wasn't until 1956 that Porsche achieved its first class win, followed by more victories in 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1967. A pivotal change in 1968 saw the Automobile-Club de Monaco eliminate handicaps, allowing the fastest teams to compete for overall wins. Vic Elford and David Stone seized this opportunity, securing Porsche's first overall victory. The success continued with wins in 1969 and 1970, but a long hiatus followed after Porsche withdrew its official teams from motorsport in 1971. It wasn't until 1978 that Porsche returned to the top, with a win by privateers Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Vincent Laverne in a Porsche 911. The subsequent years saw class wins in 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. This book, presented in three languages (French, English, and German), features photographs of every Porsche team that made its mark in the Monte Carlo Rally from 1952 to 1982.
