Photo Gallery «Rally Monte Carlo 1990 - the Japanese upgrade»
Once again, the first places went to the Lancia Deltas, with Didier Auriol in first and Miki Biasion in third. This Lancia dominance was shattered by a Toyota Celica GT-Four driven by Carlo Sainz. It shows what can be expected from the Japanese in the future. Almost 63% of the starting teams reached the finish. Sainz and Auriol took turns at the front for almost the entire rally, and it was a battle until almost the last special stage. The 1990 rally impressively illustrates that even the more narrow-chested Group A cars are capable of high average speeds. With an average speed of almost 95 km/h, the 1990 rally is probably one of the fastest Monte Carlo rallies ever, with top speeds of over 114 km/h being reached on average in the St Jean en Royan - Col de Lachau special stage.
