SR17: Decremer and Hugo on another planet!

Leading the 27th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique since the end of RS3, on Friday, Belgians Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo (Alfa Romeo Giulia TI) claimed their second consecutive victory in the RMCH just before midnight on Tuesday. They also single-handedly claimed victory in the last special stage, between La Bollène-Vésubie and Moulinet (22.6km), via the famous Col de Turini.

Fortunately for their rivals, Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) had foreseen just such an eventuality, and the Special Prize for the ‘Historic Monte-Carlo Power Stage’, in partnership with prestigious watchmaker TAG-Heuer, was awarded under the regulations to the second-placed team in RS17: Andrei Ponomarev and Victor Polyakov, in the Volkswagen GTI in which they had won RS13, on Tuesday morning, on the way to Monaco.

This last special stage of the 2025 edition had two other consequences for the overall standings. It allowed the Greeks Aris Georgosopoulos and Ioulios Iatridis (Fiat 128 Rally) to finish this 2025 edition in the Top 5, by stealing 5th place, at the last minute, from the Lithuanians in a Jaguar, Raysis and Meilunas, the main victims of this Turini night.

Last but not least, the RS17 ended with the two best female crews in the top 100 (out of 188 classified): Switzerland’s Carole Grimm and Belgium’s Ingrid Peeters, in a superb Lancia Fulvia HF 1.6, finished 99th, just ahead of France’s Marie Douaré and Danièle Denuzière, in another Lancia Fulvia (100th).

As tradition dictates, the winners uncorked a bottle of Champagne, early on Wednesday, when returning to Monaco’s Port Herculis. And the Final General Classification will be made official at midday on Wednesday by Automobile Club de Monaco.
