Upcoming Events
As tradition dictates, the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique celebrates the history and the legends who have shaped the sport. The official poster for the 2026 edition draws direct inspiration from the 1976 Rallye Monte-Carlo, revisiting its iconic graphic design to mark the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of an unforgettable achievement: the victory of Michèle Mouton and Françoise Conconi in the Ladies’ Cup, clinched that year at the wheel of an Alpine-Renault A110 1600 SC.
Already seen as a rising star in motorsport at the time, Michèle Mouton dazzled spectators and competitors alike in January 1976 with her talent, determination, and composure on the notoriously tricky winter roads. Partnered with co-driver Françoise Conconi, she set the pace from the early stages, dominating her rivals to secure the prestigious Ladies’ Cup — a performance that drew widespread acclaim across the rallying world. This Monte-Carlo victory proved to be a defining moment in her career, paving the way for her historic ascent to the very top of the sport. Just a few years later, she became the first — and still the only — woman to win a round of the FIA World Rally Championship (Sanremo 1981) and to contend for the world title against the greatest drivers of her era.
Today, as an Honorary Member of the Automobile Club de Monaco, Michèle Mouton remains an icon and an inspiration for generations of motorsport enthusiasts. The 2026 poster pays vibrant tribute to her remarkable journey and to the legacy she continues to embody, half a century after that landmark triumph on the Monte-Carlo Rally stages.
