The 15th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, taking place from April 24 to 26, 2026, has unveiled its official poster. With eight months to go before this eagerly awaited event, the poster pays tribute to one of the greatest names in Formula 1: Niki Lauda, marking 50 years since his back-to-back victories at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1975 and 1976.
To mark this symbolic anniversary, the Automobile Club de Monaco’s Organizing Committee chose to shine a light on this milestone in the history of its flagship event by revisiting the original 1976 poster. The artwork reprises the iconic visual style of the era while featuring Lauda’s winning Ferrari 312 T against the timeless backdrop of the modern-day Principality. A heartfelt tribute to the history and legends of motorsport, which the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique brings to life each year by gathering the most beautiful historic single-seaters for a truly unique spectacle.
This homage will also play out on track, with the D Series – Niki Lauda, named in his honor, showcasing Grand Prix F1 – 3-litre cars that competed between 1973 and 1976. The series will feature two classes: cars powered by the iconic Ford-Cosworth DFV engine (Class 1) and those powered by other engines (Class 2).
Save the date! Ticket sales will open soon — stay tuned!

As tradition dictates, the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique celebrates the history and the legends who have shaped the sport. The official poster for the 2026 edition draws direct inspiration from the 1976 Rallye Monte-Carlo, revisiting its iconic graphic design to mark the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of an unforgettable achievement: the victory of Michèle Mouton and Françoise Conconi in the Ladies’ Cup, clinched that year at the wheel of an Alpine-Renault A110 1600 SC.
Already seen as a rising star in motorsport at the time, Michèle Mouton dazzled spectators and competitors alike in January 1976 with her talent, determination, and composure on the notoriously tricky winter roads. Partnered with co-driver Françoise Conconi, she set the pace from the early stages, dominating her rivals to secure the prestigious Ladies’ Cup — a performance that drew widespread acclaim across the rallying world. This Monte-Carlo victory proved to be a defining moment in her career, paving the way for her historic ascent to the very top of the sport. Just a few years later, she became the first — and still the only — woman to win a round of the FIA World Rally Championship (Sanremo 1981) and to contend for the world title against the greatest drivers of her era.
Today, as an Honorary Member of the Automobile Club de Monaco, Michèle Mouton remains an icon and an inspiration for generations of motorsport enthusiasts. The 2026 poster pays vibrant tribute to her remarkable journey and to the legacy she continues to embody, half a century after that landmark triumph on the Monte-Carlo Rally stages.
The 28th edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique marks a major turning point in the history of the Monegasque event. Far more than a simple regularity competition, this new edition introduces long-awaited changes requested by participants and approved by the Automobile Club of Monaco’s Organizing Committee – without compromising the authentic, popular spirit that built its reputation. With revised dates, a broader vehicle selection (models raced between 1911 and 1986), six starting cities, and – most notably – regularity stages run on closed roads, the 2025 route showcases a bold “new-look” as the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique enters in a fully new era!
For the handful of die-hard participants who chose John O’Groats – a village in northern Scotland’s Highlands and the northernmost concentration point – kickoff is scheduled for Thursday, January 29. Other departures are spread across Bad Homburg, Barcelona, Monte-Carlo, Reims, and Turin on Sunday, February 1, with all routes converging toward Valence, capital of Drôme department and a traditional host city, where the first cars are expected on Monday, February 2 in the afternoon.
The first special stages are scheduled the next day, Tuesday, February 3, with a hefty first part of the Classification Leg, consisting of three looped specials run twice. They include: “Col Gaudissart – Bouvante / SR 1-4 / 8 km / 08:33 – 14:43” with Col de l’Écharasson (1146 m) as the decider, “Léoncel – Oriol-en-Royans / SR 2-5 / 12 km / 09:41 – 15:51” and “Col de Tourniol – Barbières / SR 3-6 / 11 km / 10:20 – 16:30”. First finishers return to Valence’s Champ de Mars at 11:25 and again in the late afternoon at 17:35.
On Wednesday, February 4 at 08:00, the rally heads into Ardèche for the second part of the Classification Leg. The route features the unpublished stages “Saint-Pierreville – Issamoulenc / SR 7 / 11 km / 09:28” and “Lachamp-Raphaël – Burzet / SR 8 / 15 km / 11:05”. A regroup takes place in Vals-les-Bains (12:10), followed by a passage control at La Remise (13:53), the iconic café-restaurant run by the Jouanny’s family in Antraigues-sur-Volane. Next: “Saint-Andéol-de-Vals – Gourdon / SR 9 / 12 km / 14:31” and a second run of “Saint-Pierreville – Issamoulenc / SR 10 / 11 km / 15:26”. Privas welcomes competitors for a time control at 16:34, with a return to Valence set for 17:40.
Thursday, February 5 marks the first part of the Common Leg, heading to the Vercors and Diois mountains. Three stages include “Les Nonnières – Chichilianne / SR 11 / 15 km / 09:53”, featuring Col de Menée (1457 m), “Le Château – La Bâtie-des-Fonts / SR 12 / 10 km / 11:38”, crossing Col de Carabès (1261 m) and “Col de Chamauche – Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert / SR 13 / 12 km / 12:56”. Before returning to Valence (15:10), a time control will be held at Crest‘s Champ de Mars from 14:15.
On Friday, February 6, the second part of the Common Leg begins at 07:00. Three special stages are scheduled with “Aucelon – Barnave / SR 14 / 14 km / 08:31”, over Col de Pennes (1040 m), then “Bréziers – Selonnet / SR 15 / 14 km / 11:09”, with the feared Col des Garcinets (1185 m) and by the end “Digne-les-Bains – Chaudon / SR 16 / 12 km / 12:43”, facing the ever-challenging Col de Corobin (1211 m). Arrival at the Parc Fermé in Monaco expected at 16:15, after checks in Saint-André-les-Alpes (13:30) and La Turbie (15:45).
The Final Leg, held overnight from Friday 6 to Saturday 7 February, starts at 21:00 in Monaco. Two legendary Monte-Carlo stages wrap up the rally: “La Bollène-Vésubie – Col de Turini / SR 17 / 15 km / 22:28” and “La Cabanette – Col de Braus / SR 18 / 14 km / 23:06”. Finish line is at Port Hercule in Monaco from 00:30.
As tradition dictates, the Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony will take place on Saturday evening, February 7, at the prestigious Salle des Etoiles at Sporting Monte-Carlo (Black tie or formal attire required)…
Note: STAGES, LENGHTS AND TIMINGS ARE INDICATIVE, UNTIL PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL ITINERARY.
Despite facing multiple administrative and regulatory challenges, the Automobile Club of Monaco’s Organizing Committee has successfully finalized the framework of the 94th Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo – a feat requiring precision and flexibility. As the opening round of the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship* (WRC), this legendary road event is poised to attract high-caliber teams and elite drivers from across the globe.
Reconnaissance runs will be conducted from Sunday, January 18 through Tuesday, January 20. Participating crews will then engage in a modified shakedown session on January 21 at 14:01. Measuring 4.80 km, the trial route – first introduced in 2017 and extended for this edition – now integrates the Rabou’s road in Gap, host city from 2014 to 2021 and again from 2024.
The official start of the 94th Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo is set for Thursday, January 22 at 14:00 from the podium ramp installed on Quai Albert 1er in Monaco. This initial leg features three special stages, totaling 61.58 kilometers. Held in the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the stages « Toudon / Saint-Antonin » (SS 1 – 22,90 km – 15h35), « Esclangon / Seyne-les-Alpes » (SS 2 – 23,48 km – 18h03) and « Vaumeilh / Claret » (SS 3 – 15,20 km – 19h51) promise the potential for major surprises right from the start.
Two departments, Drôme and Hautes-Alpes, will host the second day of rallying, with a total of 129.38 kilometers against the clock. This leg comprises a three-stage loop repeated twice, including « Laborel / Chauvac-Laux-Montaux » (SS 4/7 – 17,84 km – 08h36/14h58), « Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert / La Motte-Chalancon » (SS 5/8 – 29,00 km – 10h04/16h26) and « La Bâtie-des-Fonts / Aspremont » (SS 6/9 – 17,85 km – 11h22/17h44). This second leg, packed with technical challenges, is simply the longest of the entire rally.
While shorter in length, Saturday’s mostly Alpes-de-Haute-Provence-based stage remains equally demanding. It features a total of 78.22 kilometers of timed sections, including the band-new « La Bréole / Bellaffaire » via the Garcinets pass (SS 10/12 – 30,10 km – 08h05/12h05), run twice, and a daytime reprise of « Vaumeilh / Claret » from Thursday evening (SS 11 – 15,20 km – 09h18). In contrast to the 2025 edition, this year the return to Monaco happens Saturday afternoon and wraps up with a super special stage – currently under consideration – the first since 2008 (SS 13 – 2,82 km – 17h45), set on the lower section of the iconic Monaco Circuit.
Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo will culminate with a thrilling final showdown across two legendary mountain stages, each repeated twice and totaling 71.62 kilometers. Crews will tackle « Col de Braus / La Cabanette » (SS 14/16 – 12,48 km – 08h00/11h10) and « La Bollène-Vésubie / Moulinet » (SS 15/17 – 23,33 km – 09h05/13h15), with the second run of the latter serving as the Wolf Power Stage – a decisive moment where drivers can gain crucial championship points. The rally will officially conclude with the final podium and awards ceremony held at Port Hercule, beginning at 17:00…
Note: All timings and distances are provisional until publication of the official itinerary.
The “Super Winner” of the Monaco E Prix last May capped off his brilliant season this weekend in Berlin by clinching his first world title — a career first for the British driver!
History will remember his name for this Season 11. This weekend in Berlin, Oliver Rowland was crowned FIA Formula E World Champion, completing an impressive campaign at the wheel of the Nissan Formula E Team.
Victorious four times this season (Mexico City, Jeddah, Monaco, Tokyo) and a seven time podium finisher, the Briton arrived in Berlin with a comfortable 69 point lead over his closest rival, Pascal Wehrlein. He was therefore in a position to secure the title as early as this weekend, even before the final two rounds in London at the end of the month.
Despite a retirement from Saturday’s race, Oliver Rowland delivered and sealed the deal on Sunday with a 4th place finish, extending his lead to 59 points over his closest rival. He thus claimed his first Formula E world title — the reward for an exceptional season.
The championship’s visit to the Principality in May proved to be one of the pivotal moments of Rowland’s season. In front of packed grandstands, he dominated the first race of the weekend before securing a solid second place the following day.
These performances earned him the distinction of being the first ever “Super Winner” of the 2025 Monaco E Prix, a new award introduced this year to honour the most consistent driver over both races.
“Monaco is always a special moment in the season, and even more so this year with this new trophy. It gave me incredible momentum for the rest of the championship,” he said after his victory in May.
The Automobile Club de Monaco congratulates Oliver Rowland on his magnificent season and already looks forward to welcoming fans back for the next edition of the Monaco E Prix, in 2026, which promises once again to deliver excitement and emotion.
Ticket sales will open in the coming months. Stay tuned on our websites acm.mc & monaco eprix.com and our social media channels!

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.
Start at Casino Square, 18:30

The event will take place from Saturday, January 31 to Saturday, February 7, 2026, breaking away from its traditional Wednesday-to-Wednesday format. Competitors will depart from six iconic European cities:
Eligible vehicles must have participated in a Rallye Monte-Carlo between its origins and January 1986.

Monaco, June 10, 2025
*Subject to administrative approval
The Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025, won on Sunday by Lando Norris (McLaren), has completely revived the World Championship, as well as generating huge popular enthusiasm around the drivers, and especially local hero Charles Leclerc (2nd).
‘We weren’t very optimistic because of our car’s difficulties in the slow corners this season,’ Leclerc recalled in the press conference, ‘so to take 2nd place is still a good result. Even if I can never be satisfied with 2nd place,’ added the Ferrari driver, who has been in great demand all week. His team-mate, Lewis Hamilton (5th), who knows the Monaco circuit perfectly, was also positive: ‘It’s the best car I’ve ever had here in Monaco’.
‘In Monaco, we know that the final classification is often the same as in qualifying, so it’s good to be here again because I had a very complicated start to the weekend. I didn’t feel comfortable in the car, I was struggling to find the right balance’, explained Oscar Piastri, still leader of the World Championship without ever having been able to join the fight for pole position on Saturday or victory on Sunday.
Three points between Piastri and Norris
The main consequence of this weekend in Monaco, round 8 of the 2025 championship, is that the title race is back on track in several respects. Not only has Norris come back to within three points of his Australian team-mate, who has won twice as often as him in 2025 (4 wins to 2), but the main thing is elsewhere. The young Englishman showed twice in 24 hours that he was stronger than some people thought or said.
Norris set a fantastic time at the best moment, at the end of Q3, to break the track record that had stood since 2019 (Lewis Hamilton – Mercedes). He followed that up with a perfect start at 3pm on Sunday, then put up a great fight at the end of the race when he was being slowed by Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and his Pirelli tyres were deteriorating rapidly.
‘I could see that Max was waiting for a red flag to win and that he was going to wait until the last moment to change tyres a second time. I couldn’t stay too close to him, so I was under threat from Charles. It worked out well and it’s doubly satisfying for me to have taken pole position on Saturday and to have managed to win this Grand Prix on Sunday, which I dreamt of winning when I was a kid,’ said the young Englishman about his 6th F1 victory, his second in 2025.
Ferrari 28 – Mercedes 0, game on!
The other championship revival came in the Constructors’ World Championship, with Scuderia Ferrari taking 28 points back from Mercedes on Sunday, who completely blew their Monaco stopover. And since Verstappen, however strong he is, is the only driver to score for Red Bull Racing every weekend, anything remains possible in the race for the teams’ world title, far behind McLaren, with six wins from eight races.
Finally, in the symbolic battle for the title of best rookie, Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) took points away from Italian prodigy Kimi Antonelli. Fifth on the grid, thanks to Hamilton’s penalty, the young Frenchman took 6th place, first of the ‘others’, one lap behind the top teams, and didn’t make the slightest mistake on such a demanding track that is unforgiving of anyone. That’s very encouraging, as is most of what he’s been doing since the start of the season.
Finally, a word about the MGP Fan Zone. It was packed every day, and thousands of fans watched the drivers exploits for free on the giant screen in the Place d’Armes. Meanwhile, in the paddock, a host of VIPs also enjoyed their Monaco weekend, including Naomi Campbell, Zinédine Zidane, Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Dupont and businessmen Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon). It was a weekend of sport and festivities, lit up by a host of goodies.
There will be lots of other occasions in the coming years, because the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco contract, once again perfectly organised by Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) behind the scenes, and superbly managed by its volunteer stewards on the track, has been renewed for several years.
Join us from 4 to 7 June 2026 for the 83rd edition of the most legendary of Grand Prix events. Stay tuned for information on the opening of the Ticket Office.

During the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix, the Scuderia Ferrari driver presented a trophy to the Volunteer of the Year, awarded to Jean-Luc Filippi. Filippi was congratulated for all his work with the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM).
He is known as the Doc, but also as Professor Tournesol. For several decades, Jean-Luc Filippi has worked on the various ACM events, sometimes on the road of the Rallye Monte-Carlo, sometimes alongside the track. But that’s not all. In particular, he is the inventor of the Crash Training Car (CTC), a high-tech single-seater programmed to train marshals during the traditional training camp with the help of Artificial Intelligence.
This volunteer, who is much appreciated by his peers, was named Volunteer of the Year and presented with a trophy designed by the creator of Antoine le Pilote, Yvon Amiel. And who better to present him with this figurine than local hero Charles Leclerc?
The ceremony took place in the presence of the Monegasque driver and Jean-Luc Filippi, just before the drivers’ parade at 1pm. It was a warm moment, which will remain in the memory of the Doc, who is certainly already thinking about his next invention to help the Automobile Club de Monaco.
