The 15th Monte Carlo Rallye Hstorique once again brought together competitors from all over Europe, congregating in and around Monaco, to test their driving skills on some of the most challenging routes anywhere in the world.

According to the rally's official website, competitors are be able to choose their start location from a list of cities which helped to forge the reputation of the Rallye Monte-Carlo, namely Barcelona (Spain), Glasgow (Scotland), Oslo (Norway), Reims (France), Torino (Italy) and Warsaw (Poland). The different Concentration Legs will meet in Monaco where crews will benefit from a night's rest. The next two legs will then take them northwest to the region around Valence, before the drive back to Monaco for the second part of the Common Leg and the final night of competition.

Again in keeping with tradition, the regularity tests will use special stages that have featured on the Rallye Monte-Carlo in the past. Timing to the nearest second will be ensured using the Tripy GPS system, while timing to the nearest tenth of a second will be clocked by hand. Competitors who enter cars manufactured prior to 1966 or of a cubic capacity of less than 1,300cc will be able to choose the 'low' average speed option.

Competing cars must be a model that contested the Rallye Monte-Carlo between 1955 and 1980. They must consequently have been manufactured before 1980. The list includes some 100 makes and an extremely broad choice of models.
