There will be no Concentration Leg for the 24th edition of Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, and only one starting city: Monte-Carlo! However, the itinerary that was drawn up for the actual race will be as diverse and difficult as ever, following the recommendations of the Organizing Committee at Automobile Club de Monaco. A whole pack of Regularity Stages is on the menu, as always, since they have remained the main features of this special rally and they help to figure out easily which crew really deserves to win. The succession of Henrik BJERREGAARD and Jaromir SVEC, the winners in 2020 aboard a Ford Escort RS2000 MkII, is open…
The Historic version of the world’s most ancient road rally is reserved to cars that have entered at least one Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo between 1911, the year when it was created, and 1983, so that a greater number of models are allowed to enter the 2021 edition. And also in order to please numerous car collectors who asked for this evolution.
After one and a half day devoted to administrative and technical checks, on Thursday January 28 (3pm-6pm) and Friday January 29 (7am-7pm), the official start of this 24th edition will be given as early as 6am on Saturday January 30, for the Concentration Leg: 273,6km between Monte-Carlo and Buis-les-Baronnies, a former property of Monaco Princes, right in the middle of Drôme provençale, where the first crews will be expected at 11:30am, just in time to take part in the first two Regularity Stages, well known by the specialists: «Montauban-sur-l’Ouvèze – Saint-André-de-Rosans / SR1 / 12am /49km» and «La Motte-Chalançon – Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert / SR2 / 2pm / 22km». In order to close the Concentration chapter in style, a checkpoint is scheduled in Crest, another historic site of Monaco’s Grimaldi family, at 3:20 pm, to make sure that the first crews will reach Champ de Mars in Valence (Host City & Drôme’s prefecture) at 4:10pm.
Heading for Ardèche on the morning of Sunday January 31 the Classification Leg will start at 7am. The first stage on that day will be the much appreciated «La Croze – Antraigues-sur-Volane / SR3 / 8:09am / 57km» complete with a traditional pause in front of the the famous « Remise », the mythical Jouanny family restaurant. Then it will be time for another legendary stage, «Burzet – Lachamp-Raphaël / SR4 / 10:05am / 49 km», in the Saint-Martial version. The mid-day pause is scheduled from 12:50pm on Place du Marché in Saint-Agrève, where tasting of local products is always part of the program, and a good way for all rally participants and followers to enjoy the moment before heading for a very demanding loop: «Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid / SR5 / 1:20pm / 25km» then «Saint-Pierre-sur-Doux – Col du Buisson / SR6 / 2:05pm / 23km». On the way back to Valence (4:55pm), there will again be a checkpoint in Plats (3:10pm) and yet another popular and friendly stop on Quai Farconnet in Tournon-sur-Rhône, from 4:05pm onwards.
Vercors and Diois mountains will be on the menu for Monday February 1 at 7am, when Part 1 of the Common Leg will start with «Col Gaudissart – La Cime du Mas / SR7 / 8:25am / 18km» including Col de L’Echarasson (1146m), then «Col de l’Arzelier – Saint-Michel-les-Portes / SR8 / 10:50am / 29km» including Gresse-en-Vercors. The mid-day pause is scheduled at Clelles Station, a stronghold of motor racing in Dauphiné (Isère) from 11:40 am, before heading for «Chichilianne – Les Nonières / SR9 / 11:42am / 21km» through Col de Menée (1457m) and eventually, to close the day, the stage of «Mémorial de Vassieux-en-Vercors – Bouvante-le-Bas / SR10 / 1:55pm / 24km» where endurance will be the key! The last pause of the day, before heading back to Valence (4:15pm), will take place on Place du Champ de Mars in Saint-Jean-en-Royans with a checkpoint at 2:55pm for the first crew.
On Tuesday February 2, the first start in Valence will be given at 6am for Part 2 of the Common Leg. The first stage of the day will be «Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert – Gumiane / SR11 / 7:30am / 29km», with seven passes on the way. The remaining crews will then head for «Verclause – Laborel / SR12 / 8:55am / 27km» to be followed by an exciting loop: «Entrevaux – Entrevaux / SR13 / 12:35pm / 15 km» including Col de Félines. The last checkpoint before entering parc fermé in Monaco (3:10pm) will take place on Place Neuve in La Turbie, from 2:35pm.
The Final Leg, scheduled for the night of Tuesday February 2 to Wednesday February 3, will start in Monaco at 8:45pmand crews will be able to enjoy, in succession, «Col de Braus – La-Bollène-Vésubie / SR14 / 9:50pm / 35km» and «Lantosque – Lucéram / SR15 / 11:05pm / 20km». The finish line will be set up on Port Hercule in Monaco and cars expected around 1am.
Last but not least, in keeping with tradition, the Gala Night and Prize Ceremony will happen on the evening of Wednesday February 3 in the Salle des Etoiles of Monte-Carlo Sporting Club (evening dress/dark suit / Black tie requested).

Monaco, July 31, 2020
From 18 to 24 January 2021
The 89th Monte-Carlo Rally, opening round of the 2021 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), has been organized around Gap (Hautes-Alpes) -Sebastien Ogier’s birthplace- since 2014, as well as in the neighbouring departments of Alpes de Haute-Provence, Drôme and Isère, in order to boost a menu which looks even more hearty for the happy drivers who will enter the 2021 edition : over 85% of the route has been changed, compared to the previous edition, and the 2021 program is a brand new mix of difficulties, alternating classic stages and new portions. This was a wish of the Organizing Committee at Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) and the grand finale will take place, as always, in the Alpes-Maritimes. Then it will be time to celebrate at the Prize Ceremony in Monte-Carlo, for the 110thanniversary of the most ancient rally in the world …
After two and a half days of recce, from Monday January 18 to Wednesday January 20, the crews allowed to start the rally will be able to test in race conditions on Thursday January 21 from 9:01 am, at the Shakedown (3.35km), the set-up session which has remained the same since 2016, on the Route de la Garde in Gap.
The official start of the 89th Monte-Carlo Rallywill be given that same Thursday January 21 from 6:10 pm onwards at Gap/Fontreyne Service Park. The menu of this first nightly leg consists of two special stages for a total timed section of 41.42km in the departments of Hautes-Alpes and Isère: « Saint-Disdier / Corps » (SS1 – 20.58km – 7:08 pm) in the Dévoluy area, then « Saint-Maurice / Saint-Bonnet » (SS2 – 20.84km – 8:06 pm) in the Valgaudemar area, will serve as revealing previews of other difficulties to come in the next three days..
On Friday January 22, crews will be heading west of Gap for Race Day 2, spread over two departments (Hautes-Alpes and Drôme) for a total timed section of 127.70km. With a loop of three remote special stages to run twice in a row, this will certainly be the toughest day of the rally, on unchartered territory: three novel stages called « Aspremont / La Bâtie-des-Fonts » (SS3/6 – 19.72km – 8:36 am/2:58 pm), « Chalancon / Gumiane » (SS4/7 – 21.69km – 9:54 am/4:16 pm) and « Montauban-sur-l’Ouvèze / Villebois-les-Pins » (SS5/8 – 22.44km – 11:27 am/5:59 pm), all of this amounting to a very demanding 2nd leg!
The next day, on Saturday January 23, crews will be heading east of Gap for Race Day 3 and a total timed section of 81.16km which promises to be just as tough as the previous days. It will all start with a stage inaugurated last January, « Saint-Clément / Freissinières » (SS9 – 20.68km – 10:38 am) before going up in the superb heights of the Serre-Ponçon Lake through « Saint-Apollinaire / Embrun » (SS10 – 21.43km – 12:15 pm) and coming back to the Durance valley for a second running of « Saint-Clément / Freissinières » (SS11 – 20.68km – 2:08 pm). After one last break at Gap/FontreyneService Park, in the middle of the afternoon, the last stage of the day will be « La Bréole / Selonnet » (SS12 – 18.37km – 6:09 pm). All remaining crews will then head for the Principality of Monaco where they will be expected early in the evening… without any service allowed !
The final leg of this 110thanniversary edition, on the morning of Sunday January 24, will consist of four special stages for a total timed section of 59.6km, still without service, in the steep hills of the Alpes-Maritimes department. This brand new final leg will be a pair of loops made of « La Maïris / Moulinet » (SS13/15 – 16.70km – 8:42 am/10:38 am) and « Col Saint-Jean / Col de l’Orme » (SS14/16 – 13.10km – 9:38 am/12:18 pm) where the second pass will provide Power Stage bonus points.
Provisional schedule and stage lengths until the official route is published.

In order to develop motorsport, Automobile Club de Monaco set up the first safety rails around the track. Similar to those you can see on the motorway, these barriers have to protect drivers, spectators and marshals.
Before this evolution, the track was secured by haystacks.
Nowadays, the Monégasque track is surrounded by 21km of safety rails.
In 1961, Stirling Moss won the race, driving a Lotus Climax.
With that victory, he became the first driver to claim three wins in the Principality.
For the ‘greatest driver never to win the World Championship’, the Monaco GP is a race where speed is not terribly important: « It’s just how good the car is, how well you can handle the car. It really is a fabulous race. »
