string(2881) "77th Monaco Grand Prix
The 77th edition of Monaco Grand Prix will take place from Thursday 23rdof May to Sunday 26thof May 2019. The program of this event will remain as sportive, animated and festive as always. This 1003rdGrand Prix of the History will be the 6thstage of the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship.
Of course this Grand Prix is awaited every year. In 2019 the Monaco Grand Prix will be even more special. For one particular and simple reason : it celebrates its 90thanniversary since its first edition on 14thof April 1929. Cars have improved, pilots have changed. The circuit has evolved over the years, to make sure the security remains as high as possible. In 90 years this unique Grand Prix has established itself in the motorsport. From the dives in the port of Alberto Ascari and Paul Hawkins, to the six wins of Ayrton Senna - which is still a record since 1993 - the circuit of Monaco was the theater of some of the craziest Grand Prix in the History. Unexpected developments and strategies are the keywords of this prestigious mechanical rendez-vous.
Crashs at Sainte-Dévote, grip changes in the tunnel on rainy days, pass always nearer the rail at the section of the swimming pool…The 19 turns, full of myths and anecdotes, push the pilots to the limits. They all have the same dream : to put their name on the record of the Monaco Grand Prix. Specialists of motorsport are all of one mind to say that qualifications are determining for the win, but the race on Sunday remain the climax of the weekend. Every single person who took a start in Monaco knows it and will tell you : the win is certain only when the chequered flag is waved.
After his galling defeat back in 2016, Daniel Ricciardo finally won the Monaco Grand Prix in 2018 and also managed to set the all time best time of the track during the qualifications in 1’10’’810. From now on « Dan » is part of the Renault F1 Team - which the parent company is the historical partner of the Automobile Club de Monaco. The kind and breezy Australian will have much to do to defend his title, facing formidable opponents. Including Charles Leclerc. The Monégasque had his first ever F1 season during last year. Starting as an Alfa Romeo Sauber driver, he was promoted to the giant Ferrari at the end of his brilliant season, during which he scored 39 points. He will certainly have his heart set on winning his home Grand Prix. The verdict is awaited on Sunday 26th of May at the end of the 78 laps.

string(7380) "4th E-Rally Monte-Carlo (October 23-27, 2019)
Even more intense!
In order to make the 4th edition of E-Rally Monte-Carlo another memorable event, the Organizing Committee at Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) decided to continue promoting diversity of terrain: the route will be highlighted by 12 regularity stages, some of them brand new, some others mythical where whole pages of the legend of Rally Monte-Carlo were written, either in the modern WRC event or in the famous Historic version of the most glamorous rally in the world.
For the first time since its creation in 1995, the electric version of Monte-Carlo Rally heads for a host-city which is familiar with Monaco and its organizers, Valence. The start is set on the Champ de Mars of the Drôme capital city for Wednesday October 23, from 7:30 am to 12:30 for technical scrutineering and administrative checking, before the big start scheduled for 2:00 pm. Competitors will head for the Isère valley and the Vercors mountains for the 1st Leg, with an appetizer called « Saint-Pierre-de-Chérennes – Choranche / RZ1 / 13 km / 3:30 pm » but no specific difficulties. Then, on the way back through the Drôme department, the serious part will begin with « Léoncel – Barbières / RZ2 / 14 km / 4 pm » and the passing of Col de Tourniol (1145m), followed by famous hairpins on the way down, an authentic test of strength at the end of this 1st leg, with the arrival in Valence scheduled for 6:30 pm.
Ardèche will be on the menu of the 2nd Leg, on Thursday October 24, after a start from Valence at 7:30 am. The first playground of the day will be « Gilhoc-sur-Ormèze – Saint-Barthélémy-Grozon / RZ3 / 13 km / 8:30 am », a stage which should not be taken lightly because it can reveal decisive, on very narrow roads. Difficulty will then move one step up, with competitors having to confront a mythical stage of the World Rally Championship (WRC), « Saint-Martial – Burzet / RZ4 / 30 km / 10 am », including the whole way down from Ray Pic. As a conclusion of that second day, « Antraigues-sur-Volane – Vals-les-Bains / RZ5 / 21 km / 11:30 am » will also be a serious test before heading back to Valence around 16:30.
On Friday October 25, departure from Valence is scheduled for 6:00 am. The 3rd Leg will start with a long drive from Drôme to Hautes-Alpes in order to reach « Oze – Lardier-et-Valença / RZ6 / 32 km / 9:30 am » and to go through the passes of Bachassette (940m), Verniers (1042m) and Espréaux (1160m). No respite whatsoever, since the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence will follow suit in the form of a very demanding stage: « Digne-les-Bains – Chaudon-Norante / RZ7 / 16 km / 11:30 am », made famous by its Corobin pass (1211m). Next on the menu will be the Var department, with an ancient stage of previous editions, «Castellane – Chateauvieux / RZ8 / 16 km / 1:30 pm » and one last drive to the Principality of Monaco, where the first competitors will be expected at parc fermé any time after 8 pm.
The next day, Saturday October 26, the 4th Leg will start in Monaco at 8 am, heading for Alpes-Maritimes. With two beautiful playgrounds in a superb setting: « Toudon – La Penne / RZ9 / 20 km / 10 am » followed by « Conségudes – Bouyon / RZ10 / 13 km / 11:15 am ». Then back to Monaco in order to recharge the batteries in the parc fermé, from 2 pm onwards.
The start of the Final Leg, scheduled during the night of Saturday 26 to Sunday October 27 will take place in Monaco at 9 pm. The menu of this last night includes traditional stages such as « Sospel – La-Bollène-Vésubie / RZ11 / 31 km / 10 pm » and « Lantosque – Lucéram / RZ12 / 16 km / 11 pm ». The finish line will be reached in Monaco around 1:30 am.
About E-Rally Monte-Carlo
E-Rally Monte-Carlo is an authentic regularity road race reserved to 100% Electric Vehicles (excluding any use of range extenders) and 100% Hydrogen-powered cars. It is now very appreciated by car manufacturers and race teams who are eager to show, in a real and tough environment, the technological and innovative potential of their vehicles. Its new name comes back to 2016, following previous editions called “Rally Monte-Carlo for Electric Vehicles” (1995 to 1999), then “Rally Monte-Carlo Fuel Cell & Hybrids” (2005, 2006), Rally Monte-Carlo for Alternative Energy Vehicles (2007 to 2011) and Rally Monte-Carlo for New Energies / Rally Monte-Carlo ZENN (2012 to 2015). This 4th edition of E-Rally Monte-Carlo will be the 12th and penultimate race of the 2019 FIA E-Rally Regularity Cup.
By definition, E-Rallys are promoting new automobile technologies designed to limit all sorts of pollution (fine particles, CO2, etc.) They also encourage drivers to adopt an eco-responsible driving style, the priority being the protection of environment and the transition in the transportation sector, thanks to using electricity as an energy source for propelling vehicles. This is exactly what Automobile Club de Monaco has been trying to demonstrate over the past twenty years, pursuing with conviction its visionary role. Automobile Club de Monaco remains a proposing force in that domain: E-Rally Monte-Carlo, dedicated to new generation vehicles, has always moved forward, year after year, to stay in phase with modernity.
Already alongside the Automobile Club at the previous edition, the public network of charging stations "eborn" with 1000 terminals on the counter today in 11 departments of the South-East, goes back into the adventure by making available its terminals located along the roads of the E-Rallye.
Charging stations for electric vehicles will also be provided in the parks by EVBox, a historic partner of the E-Rally Monte-Carlo. With a base of more than 75,000 charging points installed throughout the world, EVBox is the motor of electric mobility and offers charging solutions to individuals, businesses and public authorities, from 3.7 kW to 350 kW.
The cars entered in the event are new generation vehicles, representing over ten car manufacturers, all of them leaders on the market, be it with electric cars or fuel cell vehicles using hydrogen…

Home » Third Monaco win for Lewis Hamilton!
He started on the pole and finished the race in the same positon. Lewis Hamilton was keen to prevent Max Verstappen from overtaking him. The British man managed to restart the race superbly after the intervention of the Safety Car on the track to let the marshals collect the hazard left by Charles Leclerc. The Monégasque had to retire after his crash with Nico Hülkenberg at la Rascasse.
During the SC all the front drivers pitted. Another race incident happened at this moment. Max Verstappen was released unsafely by his mechanics and got a 5-second penalty. This is the reason why he is not standing on the podium today.
Even if the last few laps were stressful, Lewis Hamilton was the first driver to cross the finish line. Max Verstappen finished second but with his penalty he’s down to 4th. The podium of this 77th Monaco Grand Prix is composed of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas. Pierre Gasly gets the extra point for the best lap in 1’14’’279.
Reactions
Lewis Hamilton: « It’s probably the hardest race I ever had. For me there was no way I was going to make it. We all know it has been a hard weekend emotionally. I was fighting with the spirit of Niki. I was trying to make him proud »
Sebastian Vettel: « When I saw Bottas and Verstappen touching in the pit lane, I thought we might have a chance – but ultimately it’s a good result for us. Today is about Niki really. He was an icon in the past and he will continue to be in the future »
Valtteri Bottas: « Obviously, it was a disappointing weekend for me as I had the speed. Today was difficult »
