Type of events
The first rally was held from 15 to 18 January 1988, over a selection of routes run by earlier Monte-Carlo Rallies - the number of participants was capped at 60.
The race quickly became a hit and is now considered by drivers as the number one winter historic road race. It attracts increasing numbers of amateurs and former Monte-Carlo Rally drivers, keen to experience the legendary circuit for themselves. Race applications received by the Automobile Club de Monaco are surpassing all expectations - so a selection committee has been set up to choose the 300 or so cars authorised to set off from the Concentration Stages.
The rally´s success is no doubt due to the unique combination of stages and regularity tests and the care and attention brought by the ACM to the running of this event - the same organisational skills used in the Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, the opening race in the FIA World Rally Championship.
The organisers have devised an exceptional programme for this 12th edition, which takes place from 29 January till 4th February 2009.
