Formula 1 Grand Prix cars with turbo engines will be able to take part in the 15th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique in April 2026. Changes to FIA regulations will enable the Organizing and Selection Committee at Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) to reserve a specific class for them, as originally planned for 2022, when the Race G was introduced, for F1 single-seaters that raced at Monaco Grand Prix from 1981 to 1985.
The stars, however, and to the delight of those nostalgic for F1’s golden age, are likely to remain the 3-liter-engined single-seaters. Generally equipped with Ford Cosworth DFV V8s, their advent in 1966 fundamentally changed the image and reputation of F1. An expected field of 80 to 100 cars in Race D to G, all generally in a state of perfect preservation, capable of racing faster than fifty years ago on the streets of Monaco, in much better grip conditions and in complete safety.
Keen to preserve the identity of the Grand Prix, the organizers decided to keep the Race A1, reserved exclusively for pre-war cars, considering that the Bugatti cars (35, 37 and 51) and the Maserati are the DNA of the Monaco Grand Prix.
For the rest, the Race A2 (post-war, front-engines) and the Race C (sportscars) will continue unchanged, as will the five other F1 grids, which will present the evolution of Grand Prix racing over almost 40 years (from 1946 to 1985). Several tributes and anniversaries are already planned, in the authentic and majestic setting of the Principality’s circuit, and several fine pages of motor racing history will be turned, with sound, vibrations and smells included, during this 15th edition of Grand Prix Historique de Monaco:
100 years ago (1926), Maserati made its racing debut. In addition to their potential presence in the Race A1 (eligible models range type 26, 26B, 26C, 26M till 4CL passing through 8C, 4CM, V8RI, 8CM, 6C-34, 6CM and 8CTF), the beautiful and rebellious Italians involved in the Race A2 are, in addition to the 250F (Winners with Stirling Moss 70 years ago (1956) and with Juan-Manuel Fangio in 1957), the 4CL, 4CLT/48, A6GCM and A6GCM. In Race C, the ACM still hopes to count on the participation of 150S, 250S, and 300S.
80 years ago (1946), the first Gordini imagined by Amédée, the great French wizard of Italian descent, came out, and 70 years ago (1956), it was the last appearance, at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, of a Gordini in the championship. It wasn’t until Matra, in 1967 at Monaco, that a blue car appeared again in F1.
60 years ago (1966), new F1 engine regulations (3-liter, no turbo) came into force, allowing McLaren to make its Grand Prix debut. At the wheel was the brand’s founder, Bruce McLaren, winner of Monaco Grand Prix in 1962 in a Cooper-Climax that is now often entered in the historic version. Six decades later, the English team, now managed by Zak Brown, is at the forefront of modern F1 (Winner of the Constructors’ World Championship in 2024 for the first time since the late 90s). McLaren’s record in Monaco speaks for itself: 58 participations, with 15 wins, 11 pole positions and 28 podium finishes! However, the English brand’s last win in the Principality already dates back to 2008, thanks to a certain Lewis Hamilton.
It was also 60 years ago (1966), Guy Ligier made his debut in Formula One with a Cooper… powered by a Maserati V12 engine! 10 years later, 50 years ago (1976), Ligier made its F1 debut as Manufacturer at the Brazilian GP, with a Matra-powered JS5 driven by Jacques Laffite, which later became a JS7 in 1977. The car’s first claim to fame was a pole position in Italy, on the fast Monza track, thanks to the monstrous power of its French V12 engine. That same year, the young Alain Prost, future four-time F1 world champion, made his single-seater debut (and won the French Formula Renault Championship), following his victory in Volant Elf at Circuit Paul Ricard.
30 years ago (1996), Thanks to Olivier Panis, Ligier won its only Monaco Grand Prix, the only post-war victory for a French car. Above all, it was Ligier’s last F1 success (9 in all) before the French team was sold to Flavio Briatore, who then passed it on to Alain Prost.

For the first time in its history, the Monaco E-Prix will host two consecutive races on 3 and 4 May 2025. With its technological innovations, novel PitBoost strategy and the presence of the best drivers in the sport, this event promises to be a spectacular weekend. Find out everything you need to know before the big event in the Principality!
This double confrontation on the legendary Monaco circuit represents a first in the history of the competition. The 8th and 9th editions of the Monaco E-Prix will take place on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 May 2025 respectively, offering spectators two intense days of electric racing.
Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship marks a new stage in the evolution of the discipline with the introduction of PitBoost, a strategic stop allowing drivers to access increased power for a limited time. This new feature promises to add an extra tactical dimension to the races, and the Monaco circuit, with its twisty and demanding layout, should be the ideal place to observe its impact. In 2024, a record 192 overtakes were recorded in Monaco.
In terms of technology, the GEN3 EVO single-seaters are making their appearance, with significant improvements in aerodynamics, acceleration and energy efficiency. These cars are capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.82 seconds!
On the grid, all eyes will be on the championship’s headliners. Jake Dennis, the reigning champion, will be looking to win in Monaco after a dominant season. Pascal Wehrlein, still in the hunt for a title, and Mitch Evans, a specialist in urban circuits, will also be keeping an eye on the frontrunners. And let’s not forget Jean-Éric Vergne, two-time champion of the discipline and emblematic driver of the grid, who will be aiming for another victory on this legendary track.
The Fan Village will be located close to the circuit (Quai Antoine 1er), offering exclusive entertainment including driving simulators, meetings with the drivers, technology stands and food and drink outlets. You can follow the race on giant screens and try to win unique experiences.

On Wednesday 26 February, the FIA World Council announced an unprecedented measure for the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship season. With the aim of diversifying race strategies, two pit stops will be compulsory for each driver at the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025.
“Following recent discussions in the F1 Commission, a specific requirement for the Monaco GP has been approved mandating the use of at least three sets of tyres in the Race, with a minimum of two different tyre compounds to be used if it’s a dry race.” FIA
“This decision, which has long been welcomed, applies exclusively to the one and only Monaco race. The initial recommendation of the F1 Commission (made up of representatives of the teams, the FIA and Formula One), ratified last week in London and validated this Wednesday in Geneva by the World Motor Sport Council, is in line with the desire of Formula One, the FIA and the Automobile Club de Monaco to prioritise spectacle, for the players, spectators and television viewers alike. The verdict will be in on 25 May when the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025 takes place… “ Automobile Club de Monaco

For the first time in its history, which started in 1929, the Grand Prix de Monaco will have a title partner: the TAG Heuer watchmaking group, Official Timekeeper of the Formula 1 World Championship. To celebrate this announcement, the Automobile Club de Monaco presents the official poster for the 82nd edition of its leading event.
As the Formula 1 World Championship celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, TAG Heuer further strengthens the incredible link between the automobile and one of the most famous races on the calendar. With a shared history that has been woven over the decades, Monaco and TAG Heuer are linked, not only by the world of motorsport, but also by the history of the company.

Monaco, a second home for the TAG Heuer
While the traditional watches of TAG Heuer are made in Switzerland, the company has become a cultural force taking on a global identity. With boutiques located around the world, ambassadors and advertising campaigns that can be seen in every city, and the presence in different sports across continents, there is only one place that the brand has a special connection to the Principality of Monaco.
Legendary stories of the sport have been written on the Monegasque track: from the exploits of drivers such as Jochen Rindt, Jo Siffert, Niki Lauda and Ronnie Peterson in the 60s and 70s, who became style icons and wore Heuer chronographs on the track, to the incredible rivalries and victories of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna in the 80s, who dominated in Monaco at the wheel of TAG Heuer-sponsored McLarens. In the late 90s and 2000s, Mika Häkkinen, David Coulthard, Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton enjoyed success on the streets of the Principality, all with TAG Heuer watches on their wrist as they stood atop the podium. In recent years, Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez in a Red Bull Racing car have also won with a TAG Heuer on their wrist.
Elevating a partnership
TAG Heuer has been a partner of the Automobile Club de Monaco since 2011, present at key moments through the Formula 1 weekend and at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. This marks the opening of a new chapter in this long history, in which TAG Heuer’s presence will be reinforced on all race-related media, including with significant trackside placement, visible on site in the streets of Monaco and on screens around the world. Another key element will be the iconic TAG Heuer Monaco clock which will be on display in the paddock. A special logo has been created to celebrate this key moment in motorsport history and is featured on the Official Poster for this 82nd edition.
Some may have had their doubts, but they were soon convinced: no crew on the 27th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique was capable of beating the title holders, Belgians Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo, who set off from Reims on Thursday in a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI and had been in the lead since Saturday afternoon. And as expected, they won, as they did in 2024, on Tuesday night on Col de Turini, winning the last two regularity stages of this formidable 2025 edition, from start to finish.
The 2025 edition began in winter conditions, with snow on the roads around Valence, and ended on a fine spring day, between the capital of the Drôme and the Principality of Monaco, via the Alpes de Haute-Provence. Over the course of the last five stages (RS13 to 17), a few more of the 34 car manufacturers and 25 countries represented were able to add their name to the roll of honour, at the last minute. Just like Citroën, thanks to the superb SM driven by the Raymond family, who tied for 1st place in RS14, between Sisteron and Thoard.
There were 219 crews at the start on Thursday in Monaco, Reims, Bad Homburg and Turin. There were still 188 in the official final rankings, published at midday on Wednesday by Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM). These included two female teams in the Top 100, who battled it out right up to the final kilometres, for the Ladies’ Cup: Switzerland’s Carole Grimm and Belgium’s Ingrid Peeters, in a superb Lancia Fulvia HF 1.6, ended up at the 99th place, just ahead of France’s Marie Douaré and Danièle Denuzière, in another Lancia Fulvia.
The warm welcome from the public in all the towns and villages along the route, the very high standard of preparation of the crews and cars, the intensity of the battles at every level of the standings, resulted in a podium place where experience took pride of place: on top, Michel Decremer winning for the third time (2017, 2024, 2025), the first time with Yannick Albert in the right-hand seat, the other two with Jennifer Hugo, who has won twice in three participation. In this 2025 edition, the crew n. 200 won 4 Regularity Special Stages (RS10-12-16-17).
9 car brands in the Top 10
The final podium of this 27th edition looks very impressive, with Spaniards Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls (BMW 323i) in second place, ahead of Italians Fabrizio Rossi and Marco Frascaroli (Lancia Fulvia). Closely followed by two other Transalpine drivers, Giorgio Schon and Francesco Giammarino, who finished second last year and have been at the forefront of the battel, from start to finish this year, in their tiny Austin Mini Cooper S.
If we look at the figures for this 27th edition, there are two that stand out: firstly, the presence of 9 different car brands (as of last year) in the Top 10 of the overall classification, published at midday on Wednesday by the ACM; secondly, the fact that 10 car manufacturers (as of last year, too) won at least one RS, sometimes tied with another brand.
In detail, Porsche (6 stage wins, with more than 40 cars entered) finally beat BMW and Alfa Romeo (4 each), while Lancia and Austin (3 wins each), but also Volkswagen and Fiat (2 each) came out on top. The rest of the laurels were shared between Citroën, Opel and Ford, thanks to the Escort of venerable 81-year-old John Buffum.
A huge popular success!
Public support along the route, and the number of spectators on the roadsides, often in freezing temperatures, confirmed the continuing popularity of Rallye Monte-Carlo in all the departments crossed (Ardèche, Drôme, Isère, Hautes-Alpes, Haute-Loire, Alpes de Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes), and in all its forms (WRC, Historic, Electric). It will really come to a close on Wednesday evening with a Gala Evening and Prize-Giving Ceremony at the prestigious Sporting Monte-Carlo. Every participant will have to wear a dinner jacket, or a long dress, to honour this great event and its many winners, in the purest tradition of the Principality.

Leading the 27th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique since the end of RS3, on Friday, Belgians Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo (Alfa Romeo Giulia TI) claimed their second consecutive victory in the RMCH just before midnight on Tuesday. They also single-handedly claimed victory in the last special stage, between La Bollène-Vésubie and Moulinet (22.6km), via the famous Col de Turini.
Fortunately for their rivals, Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) had foreseen just such an eventuality, and the Special Prize for the ‘Historic Monte-Carlo Power Stage’, in partnership with prestigious watchmaker TAG-Heuer, was awarded under the regulations to the second-placed team in RS17: Andrei Ponomarev and Victor Polyakov, in the Volkswagen GTI in which they had won RS13, on Tuesday morning, on the way to Monaco.
This last special stage of the 2025 edition had two other consequences for the overall standings. It allowed the Greeks Aris Georgosopoulos and Ioulios Iatridis (Fiat 128 Rally) to finish this 2025 edition in the Top 5, by stealing 5th place, at the last minute, from the Lithuanians in a Jaguar, Raysis and Meilunas, the main victims of this Turini night.
Last but not least, the RS17 ended with the two best female crews in the top 100 (out of 188 classified): Switzerland’s Carole Grimm and Belgium’s Ingrid Peeters, in a superb Lancia Fulvia HF 1.6, finished 99th, just ahead of France’s Marie Douaré and Danièle Denuzière, in another Lancia Fulvia (100th).
As tradition dictates, the winners uncorked a bottle of Champagne, early on Wednesday, when returning to Monaco’s Port Herculis. And the Final General Classification will be made official at midday on Wednesday by Automobile Club de Monaco.
