1965, Sport: Monte Carlo Rally

The 1965 Monte Carlo Rally (16-01 – 25-01) was won by Timo Mäkinen and Paul Easter in a BMC Mini Cooper S. It was the second victory for BMC with a Mini, the 1964 rally was won by Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon in a Cooper S. 

The weather conditions during the event were acknowledged as the most difficult ever. And instead of the final test on the Formula 1 circuit in Monaco, the teams now had to go back to the mountains to cover 378 miles in a night drive from Saint Claude to Monte Carlo. Only 35 out of the original 237 cars (275 subscribed, 237 started) reached the checkered flag. Despite the bad conditions the Mäkinen – Easter team were the only team in the entire field to complete the route without a single penalty point.
