Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
The 14th edition of the RALLYE MONTE-CARLO HISTORIQUE will be held from the January 26th to February 2nd 2011 and will celebrate the centenary of its elder brother, the Rallye Monte-Carlo (1911 - 2011).
As was the case in the previous edition, timing will be done by the Tripy GPS system to the second, and by traditional timing to 1/10th of a second.
If they wish, competitors with pre 1966 cars (our categories I and II) or less than 1300 cc (class 1) can choose the low average speed for the regularity tests.
Novelty: there will be five starting towns which were an important part of the history of the Rallye Monte-Carlo: Marrakesh (Morocco), Warsaw (Poland) and Glasgow (United Kingdom) and furthermore, two of the starting towns, Reims (France) and Barcelona (Spain), will be reserved, if wished, to competitors with cars of pre-1966 or of less than 1150 cc. Indeed, the mileage for the concentration legs from these 2 points of departure will be much lower than from the 3 other cities.
Please also note that during the concentration leg penalties at the Time Controls will be halved compared to the other legs of the rally.
We may consider the possibility that for the concentration and classification legs starts could be done in competition number order. Then, starting from the common leg, they would be done according to the results of the 1st ZR classification (Col de Braus / Col de Castillon), held at the end of the concentration leg.
Also, the final leg start will be held at the Casino Square in Monte-Carlo.
If you would like to participate, your application must reach the Automobile Club de Monaco BEFORE Monday 15th of November 2010 (regardless of the post date) together with the relevant documents. The entry fees will be charged at reception and reimbursed in case of refusal. All incomplete files will be returned to sender.
If you are accepted, the starting towns will be attributed according to the receipt date of the entry form. Some of the starting towns have a limited number of entrants, this is why it is necessary to choose 2 towns in order of preference.
Furthermore, driver and co-driver(s) of the car must hold a competition licence or a regularity one, regardless of the grade. For those with no licence, the Automobile Club de Monaco can deliver a temporary FIA regularity rally driving permit for the sum of 60 € per permit, valid only for the period of the event. Please add the corresponding amount to your entry fees.
Yours Faithfully,
Michel FERRY
Commissaire Général Adjoint
President
Historic Cars Commission
