The seventh Monte-Carlo eRally reserved exclusively for
all-electric vehicles will take place in the Principality from 18 to 22
October.
Monaco’s love affair with automobiles goes back over a century. The
Principality hosted its very first Formula 1 race in 1929, while the
Monte-Carlo Rally began even earlier, in 1911. Both events are still run today,
every January, and are as popular with motor racing enthusiasts as ever.
Meanwhile, the Rallye Historique Monte-Carlo is a nostalgic paean to the
motoring of yesteryear, with all its elegance and authenticity.
And from 18 to 22 October, the future of motor sport will be celebrated
in Monaco, with the Monte-Carlo eRally. A heady mix of modernity and prestige,
the eRally is now a fixture of the motor racing landscape thanks to its
stunning setting and zero-emissions policy. The race is also another
opportunity to speed along the back country roads in the countryside around
Monaco, following a route that will take the teams to some of the most iconic
locations in the history of the Monte-Carlo Rally.
What’s more, the 2023 eRally will see the cars return to Monaco itself.
For this seventh edition of the race, the Parc Fermé will be set up in a truly
unique location, right outside the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Monaco is ready. Just
one question remains to be answered: who will succeed reigning Monte-Carlo
eRally champions Jacques Pastor and his co-pilot Fulvio Gazzola?
