these are from second place Very controversial race!! info below dad told me these should be in a museum!!
The 1966 Monte Carlo Rally is arguably the most controversial event in motorsport history. British BMC Mini-Coopers dominated the race, taking first, second, and third place, but officials sensationally disqualified them and several other cars over minor headlamp bulb rule technicalities, handing the victory to Citroën.
The Controversial Disqualifications
The defining drama of the 1966 rally took place after the final competitive stage. Officials disqualified the top four finishers--including Timo Mäkinen, Rauno Aaltonen, and Paddy Hopkirk in their Mini-Coopers, and Roger Clark's Ford Cortina.
- The Reason: All the disqualified cars used non-dipping, single-filament quartz-iodine bulbs in their headlamps, rather than the standard double-filament dipping glass bulbs equipped on the series-production models sold to the public
- The Aftermath: Ten cars were excluded in total, including Rosemary Smith's Hillman Imp (which had won the Coupe des Dames women's class).
- The Winner: Citroën ID driver Pauli Toivonen was elevated to first place overall. He found the situation so embarrassing that he famously refused to accept the winner's award. [1]
The Fallout and Legacy
The decision caused absolute uproar. The press quickly labeled the event the "Monte Carlo Fiasco" and a "carve-up".
- The Boycott: British teams and fans were outraged, and there were serious threats of a full boycott of future rallies by British manufacturers.
- Impact on the Sport: The immense public backlash led to significant pressure on the rally organizers to improve the clarity and fairness of their technical regulations in subsequent years
- Because of the controversial post-race disqualifications of the top four finishing cars (three Mini-Coopers and a Ford Cortina), the 1966 Monte Carlo Rally officially lists Jean-Pierre Nicolas in the Renault 8 Gordini as the official 2nd place winner 060426
