The E-Rally managed to display innovative approach during the current health restrictions imposed by Covid-19. The E-Rally recently announced a new route for its next competition.
The 2020 edition of the E-Rally Monte-Carlo will be very different from other years, with a new route that remains exclusively in the Principality and surrounding regions.
For health reasons during the ongoing pandemic, the organizing committee at the Automobile Club of Monaco revealed the revised and very Monegasque route on 13 June.
The new track reduces the total distance but not the number of stages, as stipulated by international regulations. This will allow competitors to make the most of the event in a minimum number of competition days.
The Automobile Club of Monaco stated on their website that, “The concentration of kilometres does not mean a simplification of the E-Rally Monte-Carlo’s difficulties, that’s for certain!”
Here is the provisional program from the website of the Automobile Club of Monaco:
