TheMonte Carlo Rally orRallye Monte-Carlo (officiallyRallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo) is arallying event organized each year by theAutomobile Club de Monaco. From its inception in 1911 byPrince Albert I, the rally was intended to demonstrate improvements and innovations in automobiles, and promoteMonaco as a tourist resort on the Mediterranean shore. Before the format changed in 1997,[1] the event was a “concentration rally” in which competitors would set off from various starting points around Europe and drive to Monaco, where the rally would continue to a set of special stages. The rally now takes place along the hills of theFrench Riviera and southeast France (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and the southern parts ofAuvergne-Rhône-Alpes); the recentmost edition to have a special stage within the borders of Monaco as of January 2025 was the2008 Monte Carlo Rally.
In 1909 theAutomobile Club de Monaco (Sport Automobile Vélocipédique Monégasque) started planning a car rally at the behest ofAlbert I, Prince of Monaco. The Monte Carlo Rally was to start at points all over Europe and converge on Monte Carlo. In January 1911 23 cars set out from 11 different locations andHenri Rougier was among the nine who leftParis to cover a 1,020 kilometres (634 mi) route. The event was won by Rougier in aTurcat-Méry 25 Hp. The rally comprised both driving and then somewhat arbitrary judging based on the elegance of the car, passenger comfort and the condition in which it arrived in theprincipality. The outcry of scandal when the results were published changed nothing, so Rougier was proclaimed the first winner.[2][3]
Following theSecond World War, works or works-supported teams became more and more important. From 1949 onwards, there was a special Team prize. First winners were the three Allards of Potter, Godsall and Imhof. Simca, Delahaye, Sunbeam-Talbot, Jaguar were subsequent winners. Sydney Allard – as the first and only winner driving his own car – was driving a "works" car in 1952, but Gatsonides also participated in a factory prepared Ford Zephyr in 1953, a year that saw no fewer than eight factory backed Sunbeam-Talbots.[4]
The 1966 event was the most controversial in the history of the Rally. The first four finishers, driving threeMini-Coopers,Timo Mäkinen,Rauno Aaltonen andPaddy Hopkirk, andRoger Clark's 4th-placedFord Cortina were all disqualified because they used non-dipping single filament quartz iodine bulbs in their headlamps, in place of the standard double filament dipping glass bulbs, which are fitted to the series production version of each models sold to the public.[5] This elevatedPauli Toivonen (Citroën ID) into first place overall. Toivonen himself found the situation so embarrassing that he refused to accept his award.Rosemary Smith (Hillman Imp) was also disqualified from sixth place, after winning theCoupe des Dames, the ladies' class. In all, ten cars were disqualified.[6] Teams threatened to boycott the event.[7] The headline inMotor Sport read "The Monte Carlo Fiasco".[8]
From1973 to2008 the rally was held in January as the first event of theFIAWorld Rally Championship, but between2009 and 2011 it was the opening round of theIntercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) programme, a championship for N/A 4WD cars, before returning to the WRC championship season again in2012. As recently as1991, competitors were able to choose their starting points from approximately five venues roughly equidistant fromMonte Carlo (one of Monaco's administrative areas) itself.
With often varying conditions at each starting point (typically comprising drytarmac, wet tarmac,snow, andice, sometimes all in a single stage of the rally), this event places a big emphasis on tyre choices, as a driver has to balance the need for grip on ice and snow with the need for grip on dry tarmac. For the driver, this is often a difficult choice as the tyres that work well on snow and ice normally perform poorly on dry tarmac.
The Automobile Club de Monaco confirmed on 19 July 2010 that the 79th Monte-Carlo Rally would form the opening round of the new Intercontinental Rally Challenge season.[9] To mark the centenary event, the Automobile Club de Monaco has also confirmed that Glasgow, Barcelona, Warsaw and Marrakesh have been selected as start points for the rally.
This rally features one of the most famousspecial stages in the world. The stage is run fromLa Bollène-Vésubie toSospel, or the other way around, over a steep and tight mountain road with manyhairpin turns. On this 31 km route it passes over theCol de Turini, a mountain pass road which normally has ice and/or snow on sections of it at that time of the year. Spectators also throw snow on the road—in2005,Marcus Grönholm andPetter Solberg both ripped a wheel off their cars when they skidded on snow probably placed there by spectators,[citation needed] and crashed into a wall. Grönholm went on to finish fifth, but Solberg was forced to retire as the damage to his car was extensive. Inthe same event,Sébastien Loeb set one of the fastest times in the modern era, with 21 minutes 40 seconds.
Sospel has an elevation of 479 m and the D70 has a maximum elevation of 1603 m, for an average gradient of 6.7%. The Turini is also driven at night, with thousands of fans watching the "Night of Turini", also known as the "Night of the Long Knives" due to the stronghigh beam lights cutting through the night.[10][11] In the2007 edition of the rally, the Turini was not used, but it returned for the2008 route.[12] For both the2009 and2010 event the stage was run at night and shown live onEurosport.
From its introduction in 1953 to 1972 the Rallye was part of theEuropean Rally Championship, except in 1968 and 1969. From1973 to2008 the rally was held in January as the first event of theFIAWorld Rally Championship, but between2009 and 2011 it has been the opening round of theIntercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) programme, a championship forN/A 4WD cars, before returning to the WRC championship season again in2012. As recently as1991, competitors were able to choose their starting points from approximately five venues roughly equidistant fromMonte Carlo (one of Monaco's administrative areas) itself.

The Monte Carlo Historic Rally (officiallyRallye Monte-Carlo Historique) is aclassicregularity rally held annually since 1998. The event currently takes place one week after the contemporary rally, and is open for car models from the 1960s through the early 1980s that participated in earlier editions of the original race.[25][26] Unlike the contemporary rally it's still a concentration rally with multiple departures throughout Europe.
The Classic Monte-Carlo Classic Rally (officiallyRallye Monte-Carlo Classique) was a classic touring rally held annually from 2017 to 2022. It took place at the same time as the historic rally, and was open to cars from the 1910s through the early 1960s.[27]
The Monte Carlo E-Rally (officiallyE-Rallye Monte-Carlo) is a regularity rally foralternative fuel vehicles, held annually under different names from 1995 to 1999 and later since 2005. It currently takes place in late October as part of theFIA ecoRally Cup.[28]
