A true icon of motorsport, the Monte-Carlo Rally blends history, technical skill and strategy, challenging drivers and teams on roads where nothing can ever be taken for granted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"1295\">From <strong data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"806\">22 to 25 January<\/strong>, the <strong data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"828\">94th edition<\/strong> of the rally will take place, featuring <strong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"890\">17 special stages<\/strong> and a total of <strong data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"939\">339.15 competitive kilometres<\/strong>, all run on asphalt. The route winds through the roads of the <strong data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1021\">Alpes-Maritimes<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1050\">Alpes-de-Haute-Provence<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1061\">Dr\u00f4me<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1082\">Hautes-Alpes<\/strong>, combining confirmed classics with several new elements. This has been achieved despite the administrative and regulatory challenges faced in recent months by the Automobile Club de Monaco\u2019s Organising Committee.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1809\">Among the most anticipated highlights is, as always, the legendary <strong data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1381\">Col de Turini<\/strong>, a symbol of the Monte-Carlo Rally, where tight corners, changing rhythms and unpredictable weather conditions can dramatically alter the outcome of the event. Adding further excitement, the action will return to the heart of the Principality with the <strong data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1667\">Super Special Stage in Monaco<\/strong>, scheduled for Saturday 24 January. This stage will see WRC cars back on the lower section of the city circuit for the first time since 2008.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"2097\">Above all, the Rallye Monte-Carlo remains a <strong data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"1875\">strategic battle<\/strong>. Tyre choice will be crucial, as drivers must cope with dry, wet and icy sections, sometimes within the same special stage. The ability to \u201cread\u201d the road and adapt instantly to changing conditions will be key to success.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2309\">With a history dating back to <strong data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2137\">1911<\/strong>, winning the Rallye Monte-Carlo means joining an elite group and embracing a tradition that represents the very essence of rallying: precision, bravery and timeless charm.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2311\" data-end=\"2314\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2343\"><strong data-start=\"2320\" data-end=\"2343\">The Rally Programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2368\">Preliminary phases<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2495\">\n<li data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2406\">\n<p data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2406\"><strong data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2390\">Reconnaissance:<\/strong> 18\u201320 January<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2407\" data-end=\"2495\">\n<p data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2495\"><strong data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2423\">Shakedown:<\/strong> Thursday 21 January at 14:01, over 4.80 km on the Rabou road near Gap<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"2497\" data-end=\"2516\">Official start<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2637\">The ceremonial start will take place on <strong data-start=\"2557\" data-end=\"2589\">Thursday 22 January at 14:30<\/strong> from the podium at <strong data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2628\">Quai Albert Ier<\/strong>, Monaco.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2639\" data-end=\"2767\">The opening day includes <strong data-start=\"2664\" data-end=\"2688\">three special stages<\/strong> covering <strong data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2710\">61.58 km<\/strong>, across the Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2768\" data-end=\"2917\">\n<li data-start=\"2768\" data-end=\"2817\">\n<p data-start=\"2770\" data-end=\"2817\"><strong data-start=\"2770\" data-end=\"2796\">Toudon \/ Saint-Antonin<\/strong> \u2013 22.90 km (16:05)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2818\" data-end=\"2872\">\n<p data-start=\"2820\" data-end=\"2872\"><strong data-start=\"2820\" data-end=\"2851\">Esclangon \/ Seyne-les-Alpes<\/strong> \u2013 23.48 km (18:38)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2917\">\n<p data-start=\"2875\" data-end=\"2917\"><strong data-start=\"2875\" data-end=\"2896\">Vaumeilh \/ Claret<\/strong> \u2013 15.20 km (20:35)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"2919\" data-end=\"2941\">Friday 23 January<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2942\" data-end=\"3089\">The toughest day of the rally, with <strong data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"3011\">129.38 competitive kilometres<\/strong> through the Dr\u00f4me and Hautes-Alpes.
