Opening of registrations for the 2026 edition

Registrations for the 28th edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique are now open and will remain available until 3 November 2025. This unmissable event will once again bring together enthusiasts and crews for a demanding and spectacular course, in keeping with the tradition of the rally.

Key lines of the 2026 edition

This edition will take place from 29 January to 7 February 2026 and will mark a real turning point. The start will be given from six emblematic European cities: John O’Groats (Scotland) will kick things off on Thursday 29 January, while on Sunday 1 February, competitors will set off from Bad Homburg (Germany), Barcelona (Spain), Turin (Italy), Monte-Carlo, and finally Reims (France).

The route has been completely redesigned and will feature several regularity stages on closed roads, ensuring greater safety and authenticity. The list of eligible vehicles has also been extended to include all models that took part in the Rallye Monte-Carlo between 1911 and 1986.

Three distinct average speed categories will be proposed, each with its own specific classification, thus offering a challenge adapted to all types of crews. The wearing of a C.E. approved helmet will be mandatory on closed-road sections, and the entry fee will now include the traditional Gala evening, a real moment of sharing and conviviality.

A new registration platform

To accompany these changes, the Automobile Club de Monaco is introducing a brand-new online registration platform. To make the process easier, a tutorial video is available below to guide each competitor step by step through the registration procedure. We strongly encourage you to watch it carefully before finalising your entry.

Registrations will only be accepted via this new platform and must be fully completed, including payment, before Monday 3 November 2025 (complete application with payment).

The 2026 Monaco Historic Grand Prix unveils its official poster
11 March 2026

The 2026 Monaco Historic Grand Prix unveils its official poster

The 15th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, taking place from April 24 to 26, 2026, has unveiled its official poster. With eight months to go before this eagerly awaited event, the poster pays tribute to one of the greatest names in Formula 1: Niki Lauda, marking 50 years since his back-to-back victories at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1975 and 1976.

To mark this symbolic anniversary, the Automobile Club de Monaco’s Organizing Committee chose to shine a light on this milestone in the history of its flagship event by revisiting the original 1976 poster. The artwork reprises the iconic visual style of the era while featuring Lauda’s winning Ferrari 312 T against the timeless backdrop of the modern-day Principality. A heartfelt tribute to the history and legends of motorsport, which the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique brings to life each year by gathering the most beautiful historic single-seaters for a truly unique spectacle.

This homage will also play out on track, with the D Series – Niki Lauda, named in his honor, showcasing Grand Prix F1 – 3-litre cars that competed between 1973 and 1976. The series will feature two classes: cars powered by the iconic Ford-Cosworth DFV engine (Class 1) and those powered by other engines (Class 2).

Save the date! Ticket sales will open soon — stay tuned!

A milestone edition
11 March 2026

A milestone edition

The 28th edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique marks a major turning point in the history of the Monegasque event. Far more than a simple regularity competition, this new edition introduces long-awaited changes requested by participants and approved by the Automobile Club of Monaco’s Organizing Committee – without compromising the authentic, popular spirit that built its reputation. With revised dates, a broader vehicle selection (models raced between 1911 and 1986), six starting cities, and – most notably – regularity stages run on closed roads, the 2025 route showcases a bold “new-look” as the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique enters in a fully new era!

For the handful of die-hard participants who chose John O’Groats – a village in northern Scotland’s Highlands and the northernmost concentration point – kickoff is scheduled for Thursday, January 29. Other departures are spread across Bad Homburg, Barcelona, Monte-Carlo, Reims, and Turin on Sunday, February 1, with all routes converging toward Valence, capital of Drôme department and a traditional host city, where the first cars are expected on Monday, February 2 in the afternoon.

The first special stages are scheduled the next day, Tuesday, February 3, with a hefty first part of the Classification Leg, consisting of three looped specials run twice. They include: “Col Gaudissart – Bouvante / SR 1-4 / 7,513 km / 08:33 – 14:43” with Col de l’Écharasson (1146 m) as the decider, “Léoncel – Oriol-en-Royans / SR 2-5 / 11,255 km / 09:41 – 15:51” and “Col de Tourniol – Barbières / SR 3-6 / 10,403 km / 10:20 – 16:30”. First finishers return to Valence’s Champ de Mars at 11:25 and again in the late afternoon at 17:35.

On Wednesday, February 4 at 08:00, the rally heads into Ardèche for the second part of the Classification Leg. The route features the unpublished stages “Saint-Pierreville – Issamoulenc / SR 7 / 10,795 km / 09:28” and “Lachamp-Raphaël – Burzet / SR 8 / 15,424 km / 11:01”. A regroup takes place in Vals-les-Bains (12:05), followed by a passage control at La Remise (13:45), the iconic café-restaurant run by the Jouanny’s family in Antraigues-sur-Volane. Next: “Saint-Andéol-de-Vals – Gourdon / SR 9 / 11,632 km / 14:23” and a second run of “Saint-Pierreville – Issamoulenc / SR 10 / 10,795 km / 15:18”. Privas welcomes competitors for a time control at 16:25, with a return to Valence set for 17:30.

Thursday, February 5 marks the first part of the Common Leg, heading to the Vercors and Diois mountains. Three stages include “Les Nonnières – Chichilianne / SR 11 / 14,413 km / 09:53”, featuring Col de Menée (1457 m), “Le Château – La Bâtie-des-Fonts / SR 12 / 9,854 km / 11:35”, crossing Col de Carabès (1261 m) and “Col de Chamauche – Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert / SR 13 / 11,339 km / 12:53”. Before returning to Valence (15:10), a time control will be held at Crest‘s Champ de Mars from 14:10.

On Friday, February 6, the second part of the Common Leg begins at 07:00. Three special stages are scheduled with “Aucelon – Barnave / SR 14 / 13,720 km / 08:31”, over Col de Pennes (1040 m), then “Bréziers – Selonnet / SR 15 / 13,408 km / 11:09”, with the feared Col des Garcinets (1185 m) and by the end “Auzet – Esclangon / SR 16 / 14,430 km / 12:06”. Arrival at the Parc Fermé in Monaco expected at 16:30, after checks in Saint-André-les-Alpes (13:45) and La Turbie (16:00).

The Final Leg, held overnight from Friday 6 to Saturday 7 February, starts at 21:00 in Monaco.

An Equation with many variables

An Equation with many variables

Despite facing multiple administrative and regulatory challenges, the Automobile Club of Monaco’s Organizing Committee has successfully finalized the framework of the 94th Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo – a feat requiring precision and flexibility. As the opening round of the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), this legendary road event is poised to attract high-caliber teams and elite drivers from across the globe.

Reconnaissance runs will be conducted from Sunday, January 18 through Tuesday, January 20. Participating crews will then engage in a modified shakedown session on January 21 at 14:01. Measuring 4.25 km, the trial route – first introduced in 2017 and extended for this edition – now integrates the Rabou’s road in Gap, host city from 2014 to 2021 and again from 2024.

The official start of the 94th Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo is set for Thursday, January 22 at 14:30 from the podium ramp installed on Quai Albert 1er in Monaco. This initial leg features three special stages, totaling 61.58 kilometers. Held in the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the stages « Toudon / Saint-Antonin » (SS 1 – 21,90 km – 16h05), « Esclangon / Seyne-les-Alpes » (SS 2 – 23,80 km – 18h35) and « Vaumeilh / Claret » (SS 3 – 15,06 km – 20h35) promise the potential for major surprises right from the start.

Two departments, Drôme and Hautes-Alpes, will host the second day of rallying, with a total of 129.38 kilometers against the clock. This leg comprises a three-stage loop repeated twice, including « Laborel / Chauvac-Laux-Montaux » (SS 4/7 – 17,95 km – 09h04/15h16), « Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert / La Motte-Chalancon » (SS 5/8 – 28,70 km – 10h32/16h44) and « La Bâtie-des-Fonts / Aspremont » (SS 6/9 – 17,79 km – 11h50/18h05). This second leg, packed with technical challenges, is simply the longest of the entire rally.

While shorter in length, Saturday’s mostly Alpes-de-Haute-Provence-based stage remains equally demanding. It features a total of 78.22 kilometers of timed sections, including the band-new « La Bréole / Bellaffaire » via the Garcinets pass (SS 10/12 – 29,93 km – 08h31/12h31), run twice, and a daytime reprise of « Vaumeilh / Claret » from Thursday evening (SS 11 – 15,06 km – 09h55). In contrast to the 2025 edition, this year the return to Monaco happens Saturday afternoon and wraps up with a super special stage (SS 13 – 2,69 km – 18h35), set on the lower section of the iconic Monaco Circuit, the first since 2008.

Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo will culminate with a thrilling final showdown across two legendary mountain stages, each repeated twice and totaling 71.62 kilometers. Crews will tackle « Col de Braus / La Cabanette » (SS 14/16 – 12,50 km – 08h05/11h09) and « La Bollène-Vésubie / Moulinet » (SS 15/17 – 23,45 km – 09h35/13h15), with the second run of the latter serving as the Wolf Power Stage – a decisive moment where drivers can gain crucial championship points. The rally will officially conclude with the final podium and awards ceremony held at Port Hercule, beginning at 17:00

Oliver Rowland World Champion
11 March 2026

Oliver Rowland World Champion

The “Super Winner” of the Monaco E Prix last May capped off his brilliant season this weekend in Berlin by clinching his first world title — a career first for the British driver!

History will remember his name for this Season 11. This weekend in Berlin, Oliver Rowland was crowned FIA Formula E World Champion, completing an impressive campaign at the wheel of the Nissan Formula E Team.

Victorious four times this season (Mexico City, Jeddah, Monaco, Tokyo) and a seven time podium finisher, the Briton arrived in Berlin with a comfortable 69 point lead over his closest rival, Pascal Wehrlein. He was therefore in a position to secure the title as early as this weekend, even before the final two rounds in London at the end of the month.

Despite a retirement from Saturday’s race, Oliver Rowland delivered and sealed the deal on Sunday with a 4th place finish, extending his lead to 59 points over his closest rival. He thus claimed his first Formula E world title — the reward for an exceptional season.

Monaco, a turning point in his season

The championship’s visit to the Principality in May proved to be one of the pivotal moments of Rowland’s season. In front of packed grandstands, he dominated the first race of the weekend before securing a solid second place the following day.

These performances earned him the distinction of being the first ever “Super Winner” of the 2025 Monaco E Prix, a new award introduced this year to honour the most consistent driver over both races.

“Monaco is always a special moment in the season, and even more so this year with this new trophy. It gave me incredible momentum for the rest of the championship,” he said after his victory in May.

See you in 2026!

The Automobile Club de Monaco congratulates Oliver Rowland on his magnificent season and already looks forward to welcoming fans back for the next edition of the Monaco E Prix, in 2026, which promises once again to deliver excitement and emotion.

Ticket sales will open in the coming months. Stay tuned on our websites acm.mc & monaco eprix.com and our social media channels!

Autonomy as target!

E-Rallye Monte-Carlo Since 1995 (15–18 October 2025)

The unprecedented technological progress promoted by manufacturers – particularly in electric vehicle range – is pushing rally organizers to increase the challenge of their events. This is exactly the bold challenge taken up again by the organizing committee of this edition of the fully electric Rallye Monte-Carlo, the 13th and penultimate round of the 2025 Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, which also celebrates the 30th anniversary of its creation and innovations.

With a 14 Regularity Stages’ (RS) route and more than 230 timed kilometers, this year’s event promises to be even tougher than previous editions! While its secrecy has been dropped, the rally still boasts a rich, intense and demanding program. The ceremonial “Grand Start” will once again take place in the sumptuous setting of Monte-Carlo’s Casino Square, a symbol of elegance and tradition. The rally will take place over four condensed legs, spanning three French departments – Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and Var – with an expected incursion through the mountain ranges of Italian Piedmont and a return via the Mercantour National Park.

True to its reputation, the organizing committee has raised the stakes, with more technical and selective terrain. Legendary Monte-Carlo historic stages return, much to the delight of motorsport fans. Innovation also takes center stage! Several new and unique stages will enhance the route, adding a breath of modernity to the competition. Another major evolution: the range of next-generation electric vehicles – more powerful than ever – could be the key to success. In this context, Manufacturers and crews, ever more numerous, will need to combine technology, endurance and smart racing tactics to make their mark on this legendary event.

A New Chapter for the ACM’s Corps of Marshals
11 March 2026

A New Chapter for the ACM’s Corps of Marshals

On the occasion of the White Party held on Friday, June 13 at the Salle des Étoiles of the Sporting Monte-Carlo, the Automobile Club de Monaco paid a heartfelt tribute to its marshals for their unwavering commitment during the 2025 circuit events.

The evening was also marked by a particularly emotional moment: the handover of leadership at the head of the ACM Corps of Marshals. After 53 years of service within the Club, Jean-Michel Matas officially stepped down from his position, which he had held since 2015. He was greeted with a warm ovation and received the very first ACM Medal of Merit, presented by President Michel Boeri, in recognition of an exemplary career and unwavering loyalty to the Institution.

In a spirit of continuity and the transmission of the Club’s values, Christophe Fabri has been appointed Deputy Chief Marshal in charge of the Corps of Marshals. A 48-year-old professional firefighter from Menton, he represents three generations of marshals within his family. A member of the ACM since the age of 19, he has steadily climbed every rank with discipline, passion, and a deep-rooted dedication to the “club spirit”. Until now, he held the position of Head of Training.
