At the dawn of the automobile industry in Russia, Andrey Nagel, a racing driver, publisher and enthusiast who was in love with motorsports, was convinced that cars were the future. Having inspired the creation of a unique racing model, the Russo-Balt, he intended to prove that his brainchild was capable of competing with the best cars of the time. To do this, he had to overcome a race full of obstacles, more than three thousand kilometers long, from St. Petersburg to Monaco, and compete for the main prize of the Monte Carlo Rally.
