Rallye Monte Carlo 197?:

Actually this pic is from the Rallye Monte Carlo 1978, and here's a quote by Walter R?hrl on this picture:

"Here you see me losing the Monte Carlo '78, which I would otherwise have won confidently. But I hung behind Verini, who got stuck in the snow and blocked the road. I was out of my mind, I raged, but I didn't give up. I never gave up. Any personal best was confirmation and satisfaction for me. I have felt no disappointment at the moment or thought, now it's all over. But after the rally I was really sick for a whole eight days", says R?hrl on the lost victory of the 1978 Monte.
