Compared to this season’s centenary edition of the event, which ran outside of the WRC schedule, the 2012 version will feature an additional 100 competitive kilometres and an extra 240 kilometres of liaison, making it the longest Rallye Monte Carlo since 1995 when Spanish legend Carlos Sainz claimed victory for Subaru
Wednesday’s itinerary will feature two runs through the classic Le Moulinon-Antraigues
Burzet-St Martial stages in the south of the Ardeche separated by service in Valence, where the permanent service park will be housed.
On Friday crews will head south to Monaco via the St Jean en Royans-Font d’Urle, Cimetiere de Vassieux-Col de Gaudissart and Montauban sur Ouveze-Eygalayes stages, which will be broken up by a remote service halt.
Following a rest on Saturday morning action will resume on Saturday afternoon for the final loop of stages based in the hills above Monte Carlo, including two runs over the infamous Col de Turini.
“With a total of 17 stages, including 433 kilometres timed and 1246 kilometres connecting roads, this Monte Carlo Rally is certain to uphold the long tradition of a highly challenging course, requiring great endurance on the part of drivers and vehicles alike
