Rallye Monte Carlo Historique 2026

[MARTYNED]

Who's feeling brave?!

I have received details from the organisers of the next Rallye Monte Carlo Historique which will start from John O'Groats on 26th January 2026. In their words....

"The 28th edition of the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique marks a major milestone in the history of the event. More than a Regularity Rallye, this new edition introduces significant changes while preserving the authentic, popular spirit that has defined the competition. Revised dates, wider vehicle eligibility and closed road stages involved.

UK Start 29 January 2026 from John O’Groats.
Eligible vehicles: Vehicles that participated in the Monte Carlo Rallye from its inception until January 1986 are eligible.
New Features: The Regularity Stages will take place on closed roads, with two distinct average speed categories.
CE- approved helmet mandatory on closed roads.
Classification by average speed according to the chosen category.
The Gala Evening will be included in the entry.

The route will be published in the coming weeks.

Publication of the pre-regulations and opening of entries will be on Wednesday 3 September 2025".

If anyone's interest is piqued to find out more, let me know and I am happy to pass on further details as I receive them from the organisers.
