The first rally event in Europe

 



The first (known to me, so far) rally event in Europe was the Rallye De Monte Carlo in 1911 which began as a method of bringing tourists to visit Monaco.
From my research, it is said that the participating drivers of this rally event will drive through the cold Alps into Monaco, where it was warm and slightly comfortable.
And, it's first winner was a French man named Henri Rougier, who was also a cyclist.

This rally event is still conducted in the present rally championships of today's age.
