COMMENT    We admit it; the heavy snow that swept across Europe late last week stopped Retro-Speed in its tracks and we never made it to Monte Carlo. Lucky then that we know Philippe Fugier, top photographer and all round good bloke. One phone call and normal service was resumed. Philippe not only supplied our gallery selection but he has literally thousands of dramatic, classic motor sport action pictures available to purchase - please visit www.philippefugier.com

RETRO-FACT
1950 Monte Carlo Rally - because of heavy snow, only five crews reached Monaco within the time limit. One-hundred-and-forty-six competitors were eliminated. On one downhill section, south of Nevers, it is claimed fifty cars collided. The Rally was won by Frenchman Becquart driving a Hotchkiss 686 GS.
