With a secret route of 14 Regularity Stages (RS) totalling over 250 kilometres of timed action, this 8th edition of the 100% electric version of prestigious Monte-Carlo Rally, the 11th and penultimate round of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup 2024, is already shaping up to be far more challenging than its predecessor!

This year, the Big Start will once again take place in the sumptuous setting of Casino Square in Monte-Carlo. On the menu, from Thursday to Saturday, there will be 4 very intense legs, condensed and scheduled over 3 French departments (Alpes de Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and Var) and, as of last year, a short jaunt planned on the heights of the Italian Riviera.

The Organising Committee of Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) is hoping to make the event even more challenging than before, particularly in terms of the difficulty of the terrain: for once, some historic special stages of the legendary Monte Carlo Rally will be on the menu.

That’s not all! A bunch of new regularity stages will be introduced, a host of brand new portions meant to play a part in the near future of the event. Last but not least, the ever-increasing autonomy of new-generation vehicles should ultimately be one of the keys to success for the competitors and manufacturers who have turned out in ever-greater numbers over the recent years, in order to try and add their names to the event’s list of winners…

The first thing you notice on reading the entry list, and the proof of the success of this 8th E-Rallye Monte-Carlo, is the presence of 18 car manufacturers with 40 different models, for a total of 63 crews from 17 different nationalities! This unprecedented line-up once again makes the Monegasque event the benchmark international round of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup!

This enthusiasm is the reward for the continuing efforts of the Organizing Committee of Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) to promote mobility, which have been tirelessly pursued since the creation of the very first Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules Électriques in 1995.

Monaco On: Over 500 charging points in the Principality!
Finally, there will be no need to organize a specific recharging park: the capacity of the Monaco On charging stations in the Principality, with 575 charging points in service in public parking lots, will enable competitors to recharge their vehicles easily, within the time limits imposed by the organization…

About E-Rallye Monte-Carlo
A genuine road competition, reserved for 100% Electric vehicles (without the use of an extender), this regularity event is now very popular with automakers who come to demonstrate the technological and avant-garde potential of their vehicles in real-life conditions. Since it was granted a new name in 2016, following “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules Électriques” (from 1995 to 1999), then “Rallye Monte-Carlo Fuel Cell & Hybrids” (2005, 2006), then “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Véhicules à Energie Alternative” (from 2007 to 2011) and “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Energies Nouvelles / Rallye Monte-Carlo ZENN” (from 2012 to 2015), this 8th opus of E-Rallye Monte-Carlo counts for the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup 2024.
