Practical information :
The 95th Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, scheduled for January 21–24, will kick off in exactly 100 days. Here’s a look at the highlights of an event full of surprises and new features, which promises to be, once again, particularly challenging.
From the very start, the Rallye Monte-Carlo 2027 will be a challenging event. After the start at Port Hercule in Monaco (Thursday, January 21), the first special stage, between Col de Bleine and Aiglun, will be one of the highlights of this year’s edition. “It’s the nice surprise of this year’s event. You won’t want to miss this special stage”, said Romain Pugliese, Clerk of the Course of the Rallye Monte-Carlo and in charge of the route. Scheduled for the second run on Sunday morning, this special stage will return to Monte Carlo after a 24-year absence.
Meanwhile, the rally heads north of Gap on Friday (100.56 kilometers between Hautes-Alpes and Isère), followed by an intense day on Saturday, the longest day, in the Hautes-Alpes and Drôme (112.92 km). Finally, the return to Monaco on Sunday will be decisive, concluding with the famous Col de Turini in the Power Stage, where the winner of the 95th Rallye Monte-Carlo will be decided.
The 2027 season will mark a turning point for the World Rally Championship, with the arrival of a new promoter and new regulations aimed at modernising the sport while preserving its DNA. And it all begins in 2027, with new initiatives like the “WRC Arena” to attract a bigger audience. From a sporting perspective, these regulations are specifically designed to boost the championship’s appeal. The new cars will be less complex and more affordable, making it possible to attract new manufacturers and independent tuners. “We’re all excited to see how this plays out on the roads,” says Romain Pugliese. “We should soon see the new cars out for test drives, and there will certainly be some surprises in store!”

While the Rallye Monte-Carlo 2027 will mark the beginning of a new era for the WRC, the 2026 season concluded with Elfyn Evans’s sensational championship victory in Sardinia. The Welsh driver, co-driven by Scott Martin, claimed his first world championship title after a spectacular duel with Oliver Solberg. The young Swede, winner of the Rallye Monte-Carlo 2026, was just 300 meters away from clinching the title, but a mistake on the road ended his hopes.
The snow-covered Rallye Monte-Carlo in 2026, won by Oliver Solberg and Elliott Edmondson and a standout moment of the season due to its difficulty and dramatic storyline, will certainly be a must-see event of the upcoming season.

Entries for the 29th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique are now open! From Monday, 14 September 2026, competitors can submit their entry applications and consult the Supplementary Regulations for the event, which will take place from 27 January to 3 February 2027.
Following the major changes introduced in 2026, the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique continues to evolve while preserving the DNA that has made the event so renowned over the years.
Eligibility remains open to models that competed in the Rallye Monte-Carlo between 1911 and 1986, while the regularity stages will once again be held on closed roads.
For the 2027 edition, the route has once again been revised, with more kilometres and an even greater emphasis on competition. A dedicated service park will also be introduced.
The event will get underway on Thursday, 28 January from Bad Homburg, Barcelona, Monte-Carlo and Reims, before the first regularity stages take place the following day. A total of 15 stages will feature on the programme, leading up to the finish in the Principality on Tuesday, 2 February, before the traditional Gala Evening and Prize-Giving Ceremony on Wednesday, 3 February.
How to enter?
Entries must be submitted directly via the Automobile Club de Monaco’s online registration platform.
Before completing their application, competitors are invited to consult the Supplementary Regulations, which set out all the sporting and administrative requirements for this 29th edition.
Applications must be fully completed and payment received no later than Sunday, 8 November 2026.
A century after a first attempt at the 1926 Rallye Monte-Carlo, an AVIS Type 3 has finally reached the Principality. Behind the wheel of this century-old car, Dr Robert Krickl and his team travelled nearly 1,200 kilometres from Austria to bring a unique chapter of Rallye Monte-Carlo history back to life.
In 1926, an Austrian factory team entered the Rallye Monte-Carlo in an AVIS, with Josef Pompe entered under number 44. Setting off from Austria towards Monaco, the crew would never reach the Principality. Particularly difficult weather conditions brought their adventure to an end before the finish.
100 years later, the story found a new chapter.
Passionate about the history of the car and the Rallye Monte-Carlo, Dr Robert Krickl and his team set themselves a symbolic challenge: to take the AVIS back on the road and complete the journey that had begun a century earlier.
Nearly 1,200 kilometres to Monaco
Specially restored for the occasion, the unique AVIS Type 3, now more than 100 years old, set off once again from Austria towards the Principality. A true journey through time, but also a mechanical adventure undertaken with a car designed more than a century ago.
Along the way, the crew crossed 4 countries and covered nearly 1,200 kilometres in 2 weeks, passing through two iconic motorsport venues: the Red Bull Ring and the Monaco Circuit.
After several days on the road and a few technical challenges, the AVIS finally arrived in Monaco in early September 2026, symbolically completing the journey that had been interrupted a century earlier.
Dr Robert Krickl and his team were then welcomed at the Automobile Club de Monaco, where they were able to consult several documents from the Club’s archives relating to the 1926 Rallye Monte-Carlo.
The car was also displayed at the Prince of Monaco’s Car Collection, bringing this remarkable adventure, which began a century ago, to a fitting conclusion.
Building on the major changes requested by competitors and implemented by the Organizing Committee of Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) for the 2026 edition, Rallye Monte Carlo Historique continues to evolve whilst preserving the authentic spirit that has made it famous since its inception in 1998. Discover a generously laid-out route, redesigned but still highly appealing!
In addition to the expanded selection of vehicles (models that raced between 1911 and 1986) contesting regularity stages on closed roads, new features are marking this new era of Rallye Monte Carlo Historique: the creation of a service park and a reorganization of the route – which has increased in overall distance – featuring notably revised stages to give even greater prominence to the sporting aspect! A timed stage will begin immediately following the end of the Concentration Leg on Friday January 29, after the event kicked off the previous day, Thursday January 28, from Bad Homburg, Barcelona, Monte Carlo and Reims. The destination is Pont-de-l’Isère (13:00), on the edge of the legendary Route Nationale 7, which is crossed by the 45th parallel of the Northern Hemisphere. On the program for this first part of the Classification Leg are the first two regularity stages in the Vercors massif. And they’re no mean feat! For instance, ‘Col Gaudissart / Bouvante’ (RS 1 – 7.5 km – 14:35), with Col de l’Écharasson (1,146 m) as the ultimate test, and ‘Col de Tourniol / Barbières’ (RS 2 – 10.5 km – 15:55) are the first stages of the challenge. Finally, the route heads to the Champ de Mars in Valence, the prefecture of the Drôme department and a traditional stage town, where the leading teams are expected to arrive starting at 17:15…
Don’t miss the second part of the Classification Leg on Saturday January 30, starting at 07:15. To kick things off, the brand-new stage ‘Saint-Laurent-du-Pape / Toulaud’ (RS 3/6 – 27.5 km – 08:10/13:55), to be completed twice, interspersed with sections from the same stages as the previous day, namely ‘Col Gaudissart / Bouvante’ (RS 4 – 7.5 km – 10:20) and ‘Col de Tourniol / Barbières’ (RS 5 – 10.5 km – 11:40), not forgetting a regrouping at Chabeuil (12:30). The return to the support area at Pont-de-l’Isère is scheduled for 15:15, before entering Parc Fermé in Valence at 16:20.
The route heads for the Ardèche on Sunday January 31 at 07:00, setting off from Valence, for the first part of the Common Leg. First time control will happen at Tournon-sur-Rhône (07:45), followed by ‘Lalouvesc / Saint-Jeure-d’Andaure’ (SR 7 – 14.5 km – 09:00), a stop at Saint-Agrève (10:05) and the ‘Lachamp-Raphaël / Burzet’ monument (SR 8 – 14 km – 11:35). The first two regularity stages are followed by a regrouping at Vals-les-Bains (13:00), then a time control at Privas (14:30 pm), before concluding with a third run in two days through ‘Saint-Laurent-du-Pape / Toulaud’ (RS 9 – 27.5 km – 15:25). Then a return to the service park at Pont-de-l’Isère at 16:45 before entering Parc Fermé in Valence at 17:50.
The Diois massif in the Drôme and the Montagne de l’Aup in the Hautes-Alpes are on the menu for Monday February 1, starting at 07:00, for the second part of the Commun Leg. With three regularity stages on the programme, ‘Col des Roustans / Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert’ (RS 10/12 – 29.5 km – 09:10/14:20) to be tackled twice, interspersed with a regrouping in Laragne-Montéglin (11:30) and a pass through ‘La Piarre / La Bâtie-des-Fonts’ (RS 11 – 11.5 km – 12:50) and its famous Col de Carabès (1,261 m), the natural border between the Hautes-Alpes and Drôme departments. A final service stop is scheduled at Pont-de-l’Isère (16:50) before the cars enter Parc Fermé in Valence at 17:55.
Tuesday February 2, the start from Valence is set for 07:00… marking the start of an unusual Final Leg where competitors will now set off at 30-second intervals rather than at one-minute intervals! Heading for ‘Montauban-sur-l’Ouvèze / Eygalayes’ (RS 13 – 26.5 km – 10:05), with Col de Perty (1,302 m) and Col de Saint-Jean (1,158 m) to be crossed to begin this Final Leg of over 500 kilometres. Then ‘Seyne-les-Alpes / Esclangon’ (SR 14 – 23.5 km – 12:50) via Col du Fanget (1,459 m) is on the program for the descent towards the Principality of Monaco, before the time control at Digne-les-Bains (14:00) – a favourite with spectators – and the regrouping at Roquebillière (16:50). The final showdown, just as in the glory days, takes place at night, in the legendary time trial of ‘La Bollène-Vésubie / Moulinet’ (SR 15 – 22 km – 18:00). The first competitors are expected to arrive at Port Hercule in Monaco from 19:50 onwards. Finally, in keeping with tradition, the Gala Evening and Awards Ceremony will take place the following evening, Wednesday February 3, in the prestigious Salle des Etoiles at Sporting Monte-Carlo. (Tuxedo or evening dress required).

The 2027 Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique will take place from Wednesday, January 27, to Wednesday, February 3, 2027. Check out the official poster for this new edition!
The Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique is steeped in tradition, and the official poster for the 2027 edition is no exception. As every year, it pays tribute to the history and legends that have shaped the event.
Inspired by the world of comic books, the poster features the No. 144 Toyota Corolla of Danish crew Bent Egede Olsen / Søren Terp, marking the 50th anniversary of the model’s participation in the Rallye Monte-Carlo in 1977. Just like the poster for the WRC edition, snowy conditions take centre stage, with mountain roads overlooking the Principality providing the backdrop.
While the Rallye Monte-Carlo was long dominated by European manufacturers, Toyota became the first Asian brand to win the event in 1991. 7 years later, in 1998, the Corolla claimed its first Monte-Carlo victory with the Spanish duo Carlos Sainz / Luis Moya.
With three winning models (the Celica, Corolla and Yaris), all among the most iconic cars in rally history, Toyota has established itself as one of the most successful manufacturers in the history of the event (7 wins).
The oldest road rally is set to write a new chapter in its history. And for this 95th edition, the Rallye Monte-Carlo aims to reaffirm its status as the flagship event on the international calendar. As the opening round of the 2027 FIA World Rally Championship*, the event organized by the Organizing Committee of Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) combines a prestigious heritage with a revamped route, already heralded as formidably selective!
Following the reconnaissance runs, scheduled from Sunday 17 to Tuesday 19 January, the crews authorised to start will gather on Wednesday 20 January for the Shakedown (4.25 km) starting at 14:01, to get their bearings in race conditions. This set-up session has been modified in 2026 and now follows the Routes de la Garde and de Rabou in Gap, the host town for the event from 2014 to 2021, and once again from 2024 onwards.
The official start of this 95th edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo is scheduled for the following day, Thursday 21 January at 13:45, from the podium erected on Port Hercule in Monaco. The program for this first leg features three timed special stages, totalling 70.22 kilometres. Taking place in the Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departments, the stages are: ‘Col de Bleine / Aiglun’ (SS 1 – 25.47 km – 15:35), ‘Clumanc / Lambruisse’ (SS 2 – 20.95 km – 18:05) and ‘Esclangon / Seyne-les-Alpes’ (SS 3 – 23.80 km – 20:05). They will require constant vigilance right from the start.
Friday 22 January sees the action head north of Gap for the second day of rallying, spread across two departments (Hautes-Alpes and Isère) for a total of 100.56 kilometers against the clock. The route features a loop of three special stages to be completed twice, comprising ‘Agnières-en-Dévoluy / Pellafol’ (SS 4/7 – 17.20 km – 09:25/14:45), ‘La Salle-en-Beaumont / Les Côtes-de-Corps’ (SS 5/8 – 14.40 km – 10:25/15:45) and finally ‘Saint-Maurice / Aubessagne’ (SS 6/9 – 18.68 km – 11:25/16:45). It goes without saying that this leg promises to be anything but a foregone conclusion!
Heading west on Saturday 23 January, the third day of racing will take place across two departments (Hautes-Alpes and Drôme) over a total of 112.92 timed kilometers. With a loop of three special stages to be tackled twice, just like the day before, this is sure to be the trickiest day to navigate. On the program for this longest day of the rally are ‘Laborel / Montauban-sur-l’Ouvèze’ (SS 10/13 – 18.58 km – 08:05/15:05), ‘Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert / La Motte-Chalancon’ (SS 11/14 – 22.00 km – 10:05/17:05) and ‘La Bâtie-des-Fonts / Sigottier’ (SS 12/15 – 15.88 km – 11:15/18:25), with no doubt just as many twists and turns in store as during the first two days.
To round off the event, on Sunday 24 January, three special stages totalling 69.87 kilometers are to be covered between Gap and Monaco for this final stage, where the ultimate showdown will take place between the timed sections of ‘Clumanc / Lambruisse’ (SS 16 – 20.95 km – 08:00), ‘Col de Bleine / Aiglun’ (SS 17 – 25.47 km – 09:40) and finally ‘La Bollène-Vésubie / Moulinet’ (SS 18 – 23.45 km – 13:15), which will serve as the Wolf Power Stage. Finally, the prize-giving ceremony is scheduled to take place on Port Hercule in Monaco from 17h00…
