McKlein gallery: The best Monza Rally images

In reality, the Monza Rally was all about two drivers and one team.

Ogier vs Evans, at the “Temple of Speed”, was rallying’s equivalent of boxing’s Ali vs Foreman “The rumble in the jungle”, albeit Mohammed Ali didn’t start that fight with a 17-point lead over George Foreman. 

The images shown here try to give a flavor of an odd, but spectacular, rally in Lombardy.
