Information on the annual Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, part of the World Rally Championships, which takes place each year in the mountains above and around the Principality.
The 78th Monte Carlo Rally (Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo) organised by the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) takes place from 18 to 23 January 2010. Further details will be released closer to the race. General InformationThe rally is the first of the 16 races in the World Rally Championship season and takes place during the third week of January. The rally usually consists of 18 stages raced over three days with the weather potentially playing an important part in the result. It is possible to encounter snowstorms and clear bright weather on any one of the daylight stages and each competitor may face different conditions from other drivers. HistoryThe Monte Carlo Rally is the oldest rally in the world with the first one taking place in 1911. The original race consisted of drivers making their way to Monaco from all over Europe following a precise route prior to taking part in the special stages in the Alps above Monaco. Racing does not take part in the Principality itself. Since 1997 there is no longer a preliminary stage and the rally only involves the short stage races and drives in between the stages. 0909cr
