The unprecedented technological progress promoted by manufacturers – particularly in electric vehicle range – is pushing rally organizers to increase the challenge of their events. This is exactly the bold challenge taken up again by the organizing committee of this edition of the fully electric Rallye Monte-Carlo, the 13th and penultimate round of the 2025 Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, which also celebrates the 30th anniversary of its creation and innovations.
With a 14 Regularity Stages’ (RS) route and more than 230 timed kilometers, this year’s event promises to be even tougher than previous editions! While its secrecy has been dropped, the rally still boasts a rich, intense and demanding program. The ceremonial “Grand Start” will once again take place in the sumptuous setting of Monte-Carlo’s Casino Square, a symbol of elegance and tradition. The rally will take place over four condensed legs, spanning three French departments – Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and Var – with an expected incursion through the mountain ranges of Italian Piedmont and a return via the Mercantour National Park.
True to its reputation, the organizing committee has raised the stakes, with more technical and selective terrain. Legendary Monte-Carlo historic stages return, much to the delight of motorsport fans. Innovation also takes center stage! Several new and unique stages will enhance the route, adding a breath of modernity to the competition. Another major evolution: the range of next-generation electric vehicles – more powerful than ever – could be the key to success. In this context, Manufacturers and crews, ever more numerous, will need to combine technology, endurance and smart racing tactics to make their mark on this legendary event.
