From 24 to 26 April 2026, the 15th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique will be held on the legendary Monaco Circuit. Today, the ACM Organising Committee is unveiling the selection of vehicles entered: an exceptional line-up of 205 cars representing 60 years of history.
“The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique is magnificent because it is so colourful! From the 1950s to the 1980s, the cars are all different.” Gery Mestre, President of the Historic Vehicles Commission at the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM). For one weekend, Monaco will be transformed into a veritable living museum of motorsport.
On Wednesday 18 February, the Organising Committee published an exceptional line-up for the 15th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. The entry list includes 205 cars, dating from 1925 to 1985, entered in eight different series (A1 to G). “The last three series, with 3-litre F1 engines, will be the most competitive. These 3-litre engines came into use 60 years ago, in 1966! And this year, we have also opened the last series to turbocharged cars,” explains Gery Mestre.
As usual at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, the stars are the cars and the brands. For this 15th edition, Lotus is the most represented manufacturer with 29 cars entered! It is followed by Maserati, March, Ferrari (13 cars each) and Tyrrell (12).
Some of the cars entered have already won the Monaco Grand Prix in their original version. Among them is the legendary Bugatti Type 35, winner of the very first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929. “We also find the Lotus-Ford and Tyrrell-Ford, which dominated the 1970s. The Ferrari 312/T, which often triumphed in Monaco between 1975 and 1981, will also be present!”
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique is above all a family event. With your grandstand tickets, in addition to attending the free practice sessions, qualifying and races, you will have access to the paddocks and be able to admire most of the cars on Quai Albert 1er. For technical enthusiasts, there is a real diversity on offer, with developments over time visible to the naked eye!

The 2026 Formula 1 season is fast approaching. Over the past few days, teams have been unveiling their new colours. Here’s a look back at the 11 liveries for 2026, a first glimpse of what promises to be an exciting season.
The 2026 Formula 1 season, synonymous with a new era in the history of the sport, kicked off with the usual round of livery presentations. With the unveiling of Cadillac, McLaren and Aston Martin on Monday 9 February, the 2026 grid is now complete!
The 2026 liveries were eagerly awaited, not least because they offered a first glimpse of the new generation of cars, which are shorter and narrower than their predecessors. This season also marks the entry of two new teams: Audi, replacing Sauber, and Cadillac, which becomes the eleventh team to join the grid.
The two newcomers to the grid, Audi and Cadillac, naturally attracted a lot of attention. The Audi R26 is mainly decorated in silver grey, as well as red and black, the German manufacturer’s historic colours. As for Cadillac, the American firm unveiled the first F1 car in its history, and it is certainly unique! Its asymmetrical livery, with one side white and the other black, makes it one of a kind.
Other American team, Haas, with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, sports more white, as a result of Toyota Gazoo Racing becoming the title partner of the team led by Ayao Komatsu.
At Red Bull Racing, the Austrian team has returned to a metallic blue reminiscent of its early-2010s cars, a nod to its new beginnings with engine partner Ford. The number 1 leaves Max Verstappen’s car and is now displayed on that of newly crowned world champion Lando Norris. The Dutchman has chosen the number 3.
Then, as every year, the Mercedes and Ferrari cars are always eagerly awaited. Mercedes has largely kept its colours, while the Ferrari SF-26 driven by Lewis Hamilton and Monegasque Charles Leclerc features more white and a lighter red than its predecessors.
Even though the single-seaters have changed, some liveries have remained virtually the same. Racing Bulls has kept its white base, with a little more carbon than the 2025 livery. As for Williams, it has lightened up with white and sky blue sidepods.
Finally, Alpine, Aston Martin and McLaren‘s 2026 liveries are almost identical to last season’s. The only change for the reigning world champions is that Lando Norris now wears the number 1 on his McLaren MCL40.
Ready for the grid! 😍

After an initial test session in Barcelona, Formula 1 is now heading to Bahrain for two more ‘official’ winter test sessions. The first test session will take place over three consecutive days, from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 February.
Then, a week later, the final test session will take place from Wednesday 18 to Friday 20 February, again at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain. Before the big start of the 2026 season at the Australian Grand Prix on the weekend of 6 to 8 March.
You can see all these new liveries on the track at the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco from 4 to 7 June 2026. Book your tickets now, there are still tickets available!
Spaniards Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls (BMW 323i No. 103) won a closely contested 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. Fourth overall with two special stages to go, they conquered the ‘Night of Turini’ to claim a prestigious victory in the Principality. On home turf, Olivier and Lydia Campana (Volkswagen Golf GTI No. 116) finished in a fine third place.
This Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique 2026 will definitely be remembered. Firstly, because of its revolutionary changes, with the introduction of closed roads, higher average speeds and the expansion of the range of vehicles eligible to participate in the rally. But also because of its sporting aspect, with victory being decided in the final moments. And, as the legend continues to be written, the Col de Turini has once again chosen its winner…
“The Rally will be decided at Turini, of course!” Jérémy Joffre, Deputy General Commissioner and Route Manager for the Monte-Carlo Historique, was spot on just before the start of the final leg. As they set off from Port Hercule to compete in the last two special stages of the event, Spaniards Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls (BMW 323i No. 103) were fourth in the overall standings.
At the wheel of their 1981 BMW, they won over the rally’s judge. In a gruelling SR17 stage, finishing at the legendary Col de Turini, the Spaniards won with a total of 436 penalty points. The leaders of the standings, Ilya Kashin and Boris Kostyrko (Volkswagen Scirocco No. 102), finished 10th (978 points) and saw the provisional podium slip away, leaving the lead to the No. 103 crew.

Finally, in an RS18 shortened due to bad weather affecting the Alpes-Maritimes region on Thursday night and Friday morning, Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls managed to pull through. They finished second in the special stage, behind their compatriots Jose Luis Masdeu and Paco Fernadez Fores (Porsche 911 SC No. 114), to claim overall victory after a night of suspense.
In the overall standings, they finished ahead of Frenchmen Ludovic De Luca / Sébastien Chol (Peugeot 104 ZS No. 109) and Monegasques Olivier Campana / Lydia Campana (Volkswagen Golf GTI No. 116), who secured their first podium finish in the Rallye Historique.
Second in the 2025 edition in the same BMW 323i, Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls thus clinched their first victory in the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. “We are over the sky!” said the 59-year-old driver at the finish. “This year, second place was not an option. The whole team did a fantastic job preparing for this edition.”
A remarkable edition
“As drivers, we felt like we were in the WRC. Because you have closed roads, helmets and a fantastic organisation, certainly similar to that of the world championship. The Rally has taken a step forward with its new changes.” Like Luis Climent Asensio, the majority of the crews involved praised the revolutionary format of the Monte-Carlo Historique. Between the road closures and the redesigned averages, the event has never been so competitive! 204 competitors were officially classified at the finish line, compared to 244 at the start of the concentration course.
Throughout the week, enthusiasts flocked to the starting towns, the Champ de Mars in Valence, and the departments crossed by the race. They also gathered at iconic locations such as La Remise restaurant in Antraigues-sur-Volane, paying homage to the golden age of Monte-Carlo. These moments of celebration and sharing prove that the Historic still has a bright future ahead of it.
Finally, let us not forget to mention the entire organisational team behind this edition. From the public authorities to the volunteers who ensured the safety of the drivers and spectators, thank you to everyone involved. If the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique 2026 went so smoothly, it is largely thanks to them. See you in 2027!
On Friday 6 February, the second joint stage of the 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique took competitors from Drôme to Monaco, with three regularity stages. The crews have now returned to the Principality, before competing in the final stage on the heights of the Col de Turini.
In Digne-les-Bains and Saint-André-les-Alpes, the excitement of the Monte-Carlo Historique was palpable during the time checks organised on Friday. As throughout the week, enthusiasts turned out in force to celebrate this popular and festive event.
At the Port of Monaco, crowds of curious onlookers gathered to see the vehicles and meet the crews. This was particularly true for one special guest: TV presenter Jean-Luc Reichmann, a car enthusiast who came to cheer on his friend Bruno Saby for the occasion.
Christophe Allgeyer, Race Director of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, said he was “satisfied with this edition, which was full of new features.” Although, of course, “we have to wait for the chequered flag to say for sure that it’s been a success!” The Night of Turini, which closes this 28th edition, is not only feared by the competitors…
Unlike the eventful last few days, this second joint stage was much calmer. The 217 competitors still in the running had the goal of reaching Monaco, and the vast majority of them did so.
In RS14, France’s Anthony Guillemat / Geoffrey Payre (Porsche 911 SC No. 23) and Spain’s Luis Climent Asensio / Carles Jimenez Valls (BMW 323i No. 103) shared the victory with 11 points each.
Then, in RS15 and RS16, the Swiss crew Claudio Enz / Cristina Seeberger (Lancia Fulvia Coupe 1.3 S No. 101), winners in 2023, were flawless, without a single penalty point over the two regularity tests. In the overall standings, Russia’s Ilya Kashin and Boris Kostyrko (Volkswagen Scirocco No. 102) remain in the lead, with two regularity tests still to go in the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique 2026.
The final leg, contested during the night of Friday 6 to Saturday 7 February, will start in Monaco at 8:35 pm. The organisers had to change the route at the last minute due to bad weather the day before, which made it impossible for the rally to follow the original route.
Nevertheless, this final night will still feature two iconic stages: La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini (RS17) and La Cabanette / Col de Braus (RS18). And there will be snow! These stages will determine the overall winners of what is already a historic edition. The finish is scheduled for Port Hercule in Monaco from 12:25 am.
Once again, the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique provided plenty of thrills for the 225 competitors who set off from Valence on Thursday 5 February. Snow and ice, ever-present in this 28th edition, shook up the overall standings.
“Before setting off on the special stage, you think you’re Oliver Solberg… But afterwards, it’s a different story!” Ghislain Gaubert (Porsche 911 SC No. 10) was one of many drivers who enjoyed themselves on the roads of the Vercors foothills and the Diois massif.
But once again, it was a tough day for some of them. In the two morning regularity stages (RS11 and RS12), snow-covered and icy roads caused numerous crashes, none of which were serious for the crews involved. Among them were numbers 5, 30, 45, 72, 82, 134, 188, 219, 222 and 236. It was a veritable carnage! Most of them will do their utmost to get back on the road and make it to Monaco.
The Col de Carabès, on RS12, really widened the gaps between the competitors. Highly technical with its icy descent, the drivers who made it to the finish line of this special stage enjoyed competing on it. “It had everything!” enthused Anthony Guillemat, driver of the No. 23 Porsche 911 SC. “It was great! I said to my co-driver: this is the best special stage we’ve had so far!”
Then, on RS13, the dirty road, still damaged in places by the WRC event two weeks earlier, made the stage even more gruelling. After this perilous day, Spaniards Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls (BMW 323i No. 103) lost the lead in the rally to Russian duo Ilya Kashin and Boris Kostyrko.
The Volkswagen Scirocco No. 102 crew, renowned for their consistency, continued their momentum from the previous day, winning another special stage (RS12), their third of the week. In the overall standings, they have 310 points, ahead of Ludovic De Luca / Sébastien Chol (393 points) and Claudio Enz / Cristina Seeberger (450 points).
This Friday, competitors will set off from Valence at 7:00 am for a long day. The second common stage includes historic sections of the Monte Carlo Rally, such as the Col des Garcinets, the highest point of the RS15. Competitors will contest a final regularity special stage, the longest of the day, between Auzet and Esclangon (RS16). They will then head to Dignes-les-Bains and Saint-André-les-Alpes for TC, before returning to the Parc Fermé in Monaco, scheduled for 4:30 pm.

Finally, they will set off again at 8:35 pm from Monaco to compete in the final stage, with the famous ‘Nuit du Turini’ promising plenty of surprises. The final finish, at Port Hercule in Monaco, is scheduled for 12:25 am on the night of 7 February.
On Wednesday 4 February, the 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique criss-crossed the roads of Ardèche and stopped off at a landmark: the La Remise restaurant in Antraigues-sur-Volane. Whether in Valence, Vals-les-Bains, Privas, and of course Antraigues, the passion for Monte Carlo was palpable everywhere.
The second stage of the competition, with its 100% Ardèche route, was sure to please the 231 competitors who set off from Valence at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday. But also, and above all, the many fans who came to admire the legends of Monte Carlo.
Families, young, older people… They were out in force, present at all the time checks and on the roads, to experience the passion and excitement of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. In Vals-les-Bains, Privas and Valence, where the competitors arrived, spectators were there to celebrate this festive and popular event.
And one of the highlights of the day was, of course, the drive past La Remise restaurant in Antraigues-sur-Volane! With its famous tradition: slices of apple pie offered to competitors by the Jouanny family. This was enough to delight the crews’ taste buds, while attracting the attention of Monte-Carlo history enthusiasts, who turned out in large numbers throughout the afternoon. A magical moment that you can relive in this video:
As on the previous day, conditions were difficult for many drivers. However, they all generally enjoyed the four special stages of the day and remain delighted with the new regulations. “The special stages were superb today! We definitely couldn’t have done them on open roads, so well done to the organisers!” said Alain Vinograd and Antoine Lemaire (Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF No. 84).
In the Volkswagen Scirocco No. 102, the crew of Ilya Kashin and Boris Kostyrko proved their worth by winning two special stages (RS8 and RS10). In the overall standings, Spaniards Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls (BMW 323i No. 103) lead with 159 points ahead of Castelein/Deplancke (166 points) and Ochagavias Temino/Macho Gomez (174 points).
This Thursday, we head to the foothills of Vercors and Diois for the first joint stage. Three special stages are on the programme, with well-known sections from Monte Carlo, including the Col de Carabès in RS12 and the commune of Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert, the finish of RS13. The starting order for competitors is now determined by their overall ranking.
Olivier and Lydia Campana, driving the Volkswagen Golf GTI No. 116, were the most consistent performers on an intense first day. Marked by mechanical problems for Bruno Saby and Michel Decremer, as well as a few crashes, the 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique got off to a flying start!
More than a week after a hellish Rally Monte-Carlo, snow also made an appearance at the 28th edition of the Rallye Historique. From the very first Regularity Stage, several competitors were caught out by icy sections of road on the western side of the Vercors massif.
With the new version of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, contested on closed roads, the crews took more risks and pushed their cars to the limit.
Although the mechanics were put to the test, and there were several minor crashes, this was largely due to the closure of roads on the special stages and the increase in average speeds. These new features, introduced for the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique 2026, were welcomed by all the competitors.
“It’s magnificent!”, “I’m delighted!”, “It motivated me to come back to the Monte-Carlo Historique”. At the regrouping in Valence, all the competitors were in the same frame of mind: happy and liberated to be racing on closed roads.
From RS3 onwards, Olivier and Lydia Campana (Volkswagen Golf GTI No. 116) took the lead in the standings and never relinquished it for the rest of the day. The Monegasque couple managed the first leg of the classification perfectly, which was marked by numerous twists and turns.
At the end of RS1, Bruno Saby and Christophe Marques’ Renault 5 Turbo no. 38 suffered a mechanical problem. The French crew was unable to reach the Champ de Mars in Valence. Uncertainty hangs over the rest of their rally at the end of this first day.
Later in the day, the no. 100 Opel Ascona driven by two-time defending champions Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo suffered a setback in RS3. Then, at the start of RS5, the no. 29 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII driven by Trevisan / Trevisan Fischer encountered a transmission problem.
Wednesday’s Regularity Stages will also delight crews and fans alike. One of Monte Carlo’s iconic regions, Ardèche, will see historic cars racing along its roads.
Two regularity stages will take place in the morning, followed by a regrouping in Vals-les-Bains and then a time control in La Remise in Antraigues-sur-Volanne, which over the decades has become a highlight of the Rallye Monte-Carlo. You will be able to follow this event live on the Automobile Club de Monaco’s YouTube channel and Facebook page from 2:00 pm!
The 28th edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique marks a real turning point in the history of the event. Several major new features are to be noted, including the widening of the selection of cars, and especially the regularity stages, now contested on closed roads.
At a time when 242 crews have joined Valence at the end of the concentration course, enthusiasm reigns before tackling the first regularity stages this Tuesday, with competitors and spectators alike, in view of the new features of this 28th installment of the Monte-Carlo Historique.
In 2026, the course was completely redesigned and offers 18 regularity stages. Great novelty, they are now contested on closed roads! This upheaval, particularly desired by the competitors, guarantees a higher level of security and authenticity. The wearing of an approved C.E. helmets will be mandatory on all closed sections, for all pilots and co-pilots.
A general enthusiasm is felt among the competitors, including Bruno Saby, more than ever motivated following this change. « Since the roads are closed, I told myself that it was worth coming with a car that marked my career! »
Second important novelty, the expansion of the list of eligible vehicles. It now includes all the models that took part in the Rallye Monte-Carlo between 1911 and 1986. With all these developments, the Rally is reinventing itself but does not lose its iconic character.
As with the WRC, public areas will be set up. These will be marked with green netting or green barrier tape. It will be forbidden to stand behind the red barrier tape, which marks dangerous areas.
In the regularity stages, access to the events will be allowed up to two hours before the start of the first competitor if you are in a vehicle, or 30 minutes if you are on foot. And above all, marshals will be on hand to help you enjoy the event to the full!

On Tuesday, February 3, two regularity stage departures will be offered: the first at 11:30 am from RS3 and then at 03:30 pm from RS5. On Wednesday 4 February, from 2:00 pm, you will be immersed in La Remise, in Antraigues-sur-Volane, which has become over the decades a highlight of the Rallye Monte-Carlo.
Finally, on Friday, February 6, a live broadcast will be launched at 6:00 pm from the Parc Fermé de Monaco, to follow the return of competitors before the famous “Night of the Turini”.
The 244 crews authorised to take part in the 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique have set off! Three days after John O’Groats, the competitors set off from Bad Homburg, Monaco, Barcelona, Turin and Reims on Sunday 1 February. They will meet on Monday afternoon at the Champ de Mars in Valence.
At 2:00 pm on Sunday 1 February, ten crews set off from Bad Homburg (Germany). They have 870 km to cover on this concentration stage to Valence. Among them are four crews competing with Norwegian Rally Drivers.
At the same time, 92 competitors set off from Monaco under the blue skies of the Principality. The competitors will have more than 550 km to cover to reach Valence, the prefecture of the Drôme. Among the notable competitors is, of course, Bruno Saby, winner of the 1988 Rallye Monte-Carlo and fresh from a new experience at the Dakar Rally. This year, he is competing in the legendary Renault 5 Turbo (1980), once again accompanied by his charity Espoir contre le Cancer.
Thirty minutes later, 26 cars set off from Barcelona, in front of the cathedral, and 55 from Turin, in front of the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi. From Spain, the departure of Antonio Sainz Cenamor (Porsche 911 S No. 113), brother of Carlos Sainz Sr., is worth noting. On the other side of the Alps, all eyes were on Angelo Sticchi Damiani (Fiat 124 Abarth No. 123), former president of the Automobile Club d’Italia.
Finally, at 5:00 pm, 56 competitors set off from Reims, including Takuma Sato (Honda Civic RS No. 1), former F1 driver between 2002 and 2008 and two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 (2017 and 2020). Two-time title holders Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo of Belgium also set off from the historic capital of champagne. They are back in an Opel Ascona 400, the car they traded in last year for an Alfa Romeo Giulia TI.
Earlier in the week, five crews set off from John O’Groats in northern Scotland on Thursday 29 January. The starts were given by John Thurso, Lord Lieutenant of Caithness, representing His Majesty King Charles III.
A total of no fewer than 244 crews passed the administrative checks and scrutineering, and were authorised to take part in the 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. At the end of the concentration stage, they will all gather at the Champ de Mars in Valence on Monday 2 February at around 2:00 pm.
To follow the competitors’ arrival in Valence, a live stream will be available on the Automobile Club de Monaco’s YouTube channel. Join us at 4pm for the presentation of the 2026 Monte-Carlo Historic Rally from the Champ de Mars in Valence.
The big change for the 2026 edition is that the regularity stages will be held on closed roads. As a result, competitors will be required to wear an C.E.-approved helmets on closed-road sections.
As with the WRC, public areas will be set up. These will be marked with green netting or green barrier tape. It will be forbidden to stand behind the red barrier tape, which marks dangerous areas.
In the special stages, access to the events will be allowed up to two hours before the start of the first competitor if you are in a vehicle, or 30 minutes if you are on foot. And above all, marshals will be on hand to help you enjoy the event to the full!
