About the Rallye Monte Carlo: Automobile Club de Monaco - “Rallye De Monte-Carlo”
Since 1911, the Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo is one of the oldest and prestigious in the sport. This is the first Rallye of the year in the World Rallye Championship (WRC). Stages run through French Alps were on a top of a very difficult terrain crews need to be ready to sudden, very difficult to predict weather changes. A stage could start on dry asphalt but this can change in no time to icy road and / or heavy snow. Generally, stages are tight and twisty goes up and down on slopes of Southern Alps, but they do have very fast stretches. It gets dark early up in the mountains; and it is very trilling for fans to see bright halogen spotlights screaming into to the view.
FIA restricted rally to the Monaco harbor area (2005 and 2006 or 73rd and 74th seasons), however organizers of the Rally Monte Carlo confirmed that in 2007 the rally will return to the “mythical” stages of the French region of Ardeche after FIA gave exemption to the Principality.
