Guido Guerrini and Artur Prusak hold on to win the E-Rallye Monte-Carlo 2025. Arriving in Monaco as leader of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, the crew of the Kia E-Niro no.2 lived up to expectations by claiming victory in the E-Rallye Monte-Carlo 2025. The Portuguese duo Eduardo Carpinteiro Albino and José Carlos Figueiredo (Kia EV3 no.39) and the Belgian crew of Bernard Heine and Valérie Piette (Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer no.7) completed the podium after a thrilling final Leg.
The overall winner was only decided when car no.39 crossed the timing line in Roubion, the very last moment of the rally, after four Leg of one of the most competitive editions ever. Here’s a look back at the day’s four Regularity Stages.
A well-known stage in Monte-Carlo, the route between La Rochette and Entrevaux served as the first major challenge of the final Leg. On narrow and technical roads, Bernard Heine and Valérie Piette in the Volkswagen no.7 delivered the best performance. They took over third place in the virtual overall standings, overtaking Conde and Sergnese who struggled (26th in RS11).

The crew of Emmanuel Guigou and Émilien Le Borgne was often among the front-runners in the E-Rallye Monte-Carlo 2025 and confirmed their form again on Saturday, October 18, with a fourth stage victory. « The Alpine A290 is truly the ideal car for this event », he said this week. However, at the final arrival on the Terrasses du Soleil, the driver was frustrated with their overall result (7th with 158 penalty points behind the winners): « Without the tripmaster issues in RS2, we could have gone and fight the win », said Emmanuel Guigou.
