Véritable compétition routière, réservée aux véhicules 100% Électrique et 100% Hydrogène, cette épreuve de régularité est désormais très prisée des constructeurs et préparateurs automobiles, venus démontrer pour l’occasion et en conditions réelles, le potentiel technologique et avant-gardiste de leurs véhicules. Depuis sa nouvelle dénomination en 2016, succédant ainsi au Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules Électriques (de 1995 à 1999), au Rallye Monte-Carlo Fuel Cell & Hybrids (2005, 2006), au Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules à Energie Alternative (de 2007 à 2011) et au Rallye Monte-Carlo des Energies Nouvelles / Rallye Monte-Carlo ZENN (de 2012 à 2015), ce 5e opus de l’E-Rallye Monte-Carlo compte pour la Coupe E-Rallye de Régularité de la FIA 2021.
Par définition, les E-Rallyes ont pour objectif de promouvoir les nouvelles technologies automobiles, conçues pour émettre les plus faibles quantités possibles de polluants, de particules fines et de CO2. Ils visent également à encourager les pilotes à adopter une conduite écoresponsable, la priorité étant accordée à la protection de l’environnement et à la transition du secteur des transports, via l’utilisation de l’électricité comme source d’énergie de propulsion des véhicules. Et c’est justement ce que l’Automobile Club de Monaco s’efforce de démontrer depuis plus de 20 ans, en poursuivant avec insistance et conviction son rôle de précurseur. L’Automobile Club de Monaco est force de proposition en la matière. Cette épreuve dédiée aux véhicules de nouvelle génération a évolué sans cesse au fil des années, pour correspondre toujours un peu plus au modernisme.
Partenaire historique de l’Automobile Club, eBorn, le réseau public de ravitaillement avec aujourd’hui 1200 bornes réparties dans 11 départements du grand Sud-Est, revient dans l’aventure en mettant à disposition ses points de rechargement situés le long des routes du E-Rallye Monte-Carlo.

Defending Porsche Supercup champion Larry ten Voorde left it to no other driver to open, in style, the 2021 edition of this very spectacular series, this morning in the streets of the Principality. Starting from pole position, the Dutchman won without knowing the slightest concern, ahead of New Zealander Jaxon Evans, a talented member of the Porsche Junior Team, and Frenchman Dorian Boccolacci, an ex-Formula 2 driver, who completed the podium of his very first Supercup race.
This race was interrupted a few seconds after the start by a red flag following a big pile-up between Sainte-Dévote and the Casino, which forced the marshals of the ACM to do, once again, a big job of evacuation of the most damaged car, then sweeping debris on the track, while adding special sawdust to the traces of oil. After a handful of minutes, the race started again and the logic of qualifying on Friday morning was respected, until the end, with the top 3 qualifyers on the podium and three French drivers in the Top 10: Boccolacci, Florian Latorre (5th) and Steven Palette (10th).
There will be 8 Supercup rounds again this year, still raising the curtain on F1, and still in Europe. The Porsche Supercup was created in 1993 and was then ruled by Jost Capito, who went on to rally, as Ford’s big boss in the WRC, and who is now the new Williams F1 Team Principal.
Zane Maloney, a native of Barbados, won Race 2 of the Regional Formula by Alpine at noon on Sunday, starting in pole position and leading from start to finish a race interrupted several times by red or yellow flags. The first major incident was a pile-up a few seconds after the start, at the beginning of Lap 1, when all 28 cars went up towards the Casino. The red flags came out and all drivers went back to the pits. Maloney, whose model in life is Lewis Hamilton, of Grenada’s origins, another island in the Caribbean, was the British F4 champion in 2019 and is the next British motor racing hopeful, just like Lando Norris and George Russell before him.
Maloney finished ahead of a couple of French drivers: Isack Hadjar, 16, a member of the FFSA Academy and winner of Race 1 on Saturday, who put pressure on him throughout the race and finished only half a second behind him, with best lap as a bonus; and Hadrien David, who perfectly managed his start on the second row of the grid and contained the assaults of Paul Aron until the Estonian, 2nd of the series before Monaco and closely followed by Mercedes, hit the barriers at Sainte-Dévote and had to retire.
Liam Lawson (Hitech GP) has been disqualified four hours after winning Race 2 on the Formula 2 schedule, early Saturday morning, and Briton Dan Ticktum (Carlin) has been declared the winner, ahead of Australian Oscar Piastri (Prema), Estonia’s Juri Vips (Hitech GP) and Frenchman Théo Pourchaire (ART GP) who will start from pole position at the end of the afternoon (5.15pm) for Race 3.
« A defined throttle pedal progressivity map programmed in position 1 of the steering wheel throttle map rotary knob must be used during all formation lap starts and race starts until the car speed reaches 50 km/h. Car 07 used a different throttle map at the race start » : this is the official explanation given by the Race Direction after examining all the data of Lawson’s car.
Ticktum is the most experienced of the F2 drivers, entered in his 4th F2 season. He never managed to pass Lawson but finished ahead of Piastri who then managed to resist the assaults of Vips until the end of the race. Pourchaire had not even tried to resist Vips, preferring instead to continue accumulating experience in preparation for the Main Race, late Saturday afternoon.
China’s Guanyu Zhou (Uni-Virtuosi), the leader of the championship when arriving in Monaco, made history by winning Race 1 on Friday. He therefore started 10th (inverted grid) equipped with rain tyres, just like all of his comrades, because the track was wet. He then made a daring bet by switching on super-soft tires shortly before half-race, on a track which was gradually drying out. But a failed bet, so he returned to the pit to put on some wet tires again and then wisely decided to give up, with no hope of taking any points.
Race 3 is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, at 5:15 pm, for 40 laps. A Frenchman will start on pole position, Théo Pourchaire, and he will do everything he can to succeed the late Anthoine Hubert on the winners list.
