girls waving to him from a snowbank high in the Alpes Maritimes one midnight last year. Despite the difficulty of the course and the high average speeds, a number of cars do come into Monaco with perfect scores every year. To shake them down further, these cars are sent out on an overnight dash through the mountains over as difficult a route as possible and timed to the split second. And the Monte Carlo organizers, with a quarter of a century of experience behind them, can be very difficult indeed. For the final winner there's a prize of a few thousand dollars, of small significance beside the satisfaction of having won one of motoring's toughest contests. THERE are many prizes, of course, the main division being according to engine size. (Most of the competing cars are European, since small size, agility, and speed are important.) One of the most interesting of the competitions is the "prix de confort," which goes to the most luxuriously equipped car in the rally. A typical winner may have circular windshield wipers to clear the snow from his head-lamp lenses; seats that make down into full beds; hot and cold running water; fitted washbasins; electric shavers; electric coffee- and tea-makers; hot plates, and so on through a list of 50 carefully planned accessories. No one car has ever won prizes for both performance and comfort, however. In the Monte Carlo you can have a comfortable ride or a fast ride, but you can't have both. Many racing drivers won't compete in such events as the Monte Carlo or the Alpine Rally, another 8-day special, considering them much too dangerous. Stirling Moss, probably the best driver in the world today, likes rallying, and so, for that matter, does his sister Pat, who has won many ladies' prizes. To ride as navigator with a really purposeful driver like Moss requires strong nerves, particularly over typically unfenced Alpine passes. A journalist who rode with him in a Monte Carlo rally told of shivering in the back seat of a small sedan as Moss belted the car along at 90 miles an hour on black glare ice. At one point Moss re-marked, "It wouldn't make much difference here if we went off at 30 miles an hour or 90, so we may as well press on." Rally, anyone?
