Alpine Rally
The Alpine Rally, also known by its official name Coupe des Alpes, was a rally competition based in Marseille and held from 1932 to 1971. In the 1950s and the 1960s, it was among the most prestigious rallies in the world and featured an international route, consisting of famous mountain passes in Europe.
==History==
The rally was first held in 1932 under the name ''Rallye des Alpes Françaises''. After World War II, it continued as the ''Rallye International des Alpes'' in 1946. Although the event still started and finished in France, the route became international in 1948 and until 1965 featured famous mountain passes in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. In 1953, the Alpine Rally was included in the inaugural European Rally Championship (ERC) calendar.〔 The rally was very popular during its heyday; ''Autocar'' wrote in 1958 that "without doubt, the Alpine Rally was one of the most formidable motoring events of any type in the international calendar." The car manufacturer Alpine was named after the event in 1955, as was Sunbeam's sports car Alpine in 1953.
In the late 1960s, the organisers ran into a dispute over the rally route and insisted on allowing prototypes for the 1968 and 1969 events. This decision dropped the rally from the ERC calendar and weakened its status internationally, which led to reduced sponsorship money and high entry fees.〔 The 1970 rally was cancelled after Esso withdrew sponsorship.〔 With BP as the new sponsor, the Alpine Rally was part of the 1971 International Championship for Manufacturers, the predecessor to the World Rally Championship, but attracted only 36 starters.〔 As the FIA minimum was 50, no points were awarded towards the championship.〔
