Monaco's 12th historic car rally
Events
Taking up the various sections of the old Monte-Carlo Rallies, the first Historic Car edition was held from January 15th to 18th, 1998, with the number of competitors limited to 60.
Very rapidly, this event hoisted itself to the top of the charts and is now considered by all competitors as the greatest historic winter race on roads. It appeals to more and more fans or former drivers who participated in the Monte-Carlo Rallies and want to experience at least once in their life-times this legendary race. From one year to the next, the Monaco Automobile Club receives an increasing number of applicants exceeding all its expectations, and a selection committee has been created to select the 300 or so vehicles authorized to come under starter’s orders from one of the “Concentration” towns.
Which is why, in the face of such renown, in addition to the splitting up of the Laps, the choice of the regularity tests, the Automobile Club of Monaco deploys the same diligence in managing this event as in that devoted to the Monte-Carlo Automobile Rally, the first leg in the FIA’s World Rally Championship.
Please note that for this 12th edition, Monte-Carlo will no longer be the point of departure but the regrouping town for all the concentration circuit itineraries.
