The Automobile Club of Monaco Organisational Committee has decided that the first leg of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) will be making a return to Monaco in 2026, with over 50% of the 94th Automobile Monte-Carlo Rally route looking very different to last year. Featuring a blend of both conventional and original features, the new route also includes a series of highly demanding special stages, mapped out through the Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence especially for the occasion.
