Car: Renault 5 Alpine

Team: Renault (Group 2)
Race: 1979 Monte Carlo Rally
Position: 8th overall

The Renault 5 Alpine #16, driven by Guy Fréquelin and Jacques Delaval, secured a solid 8th place overall in a rally defined by treacherous winter conditions. Although it did not take the Group 2 victory — which went to the sister Renault of Saby/Guégan — its consistency and reliability underlined the Alpine’s competitiveness against more powerful rivals. This performance stands as a testament to Fréquelin’s determination on Monte Carlo’s snowy and icy stages.
