With a secret route of 14 Regularity Stages (RS) totalling over 250 kilometres of timed action, this 8th edition of the 100% electric version of prestigious Monte-Carlo Rally, the 11th and penultimate round of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup 2024, is already shaping up to be far more challenging than its predecessor!
This year, the Big Start will once again take place in the sumptuous setting of Casino Square in Monte-Carlo. On the menu, from Thursday to Saturday, there will be 4 very intense legs, condensed and scheduled over 3 French departments (Alpes de Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and Var) and, as of last year, a short jaunt planned on the heights of the Italian Riviera. The Organising Committee of Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) is hoping to make the event even more challenging than before, particularly in terms of the difficulty of the terrain: for once, some historic special stages of the legendary Monte Carlo Rally will be on the menu. But that’s not all! A bunch of new regularity stages will be introduced, a host of brand new portions meant to play a part in the near future of the event. Last but not least, the ever-increasing autonomy of new-generation vehicles should ultimately be one of the keys to success for the competitors and manufacturers who have turned out in ever-greater numbers over the recent years, in order to try and add their names to the event’s list of winners…

About E-Rallye Monte-Carlo
A genuine road competition, reserved for 100% electric vehicles, without the use of an extender, this regularity event is now very popular with car manufacturers and tuners, who come to demonstrate the technological and avant-garde potential of their vehicles under real conditions. It sports a new name since 2016, following on from “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules Électriques” (from 1995 to 1999), then “Rallye Monte-Carlo Fuel Cell & Hybrids” (2005, 2006), then “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules à Energie Alternative” (from 2007 to 2011) and eventually “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Energies Nouvelles / Rallye Monte-Carlo ZENN” (from 2012 to 2015). So this is the 8th edition of E-Rallye Monte-Carlo, counting for the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup 2024…
