The entry list for the 2020 Monte-Carlo Rally

88 crews, including 11 WRC and 5 WRC2, will be expected in around ten days for the start of the 2020 season of the World Rally Championship at Rally Monte Carlo (January 23-26).

La classique monégasque pourra compter sur les équipages annoncés chez Hyundai Motorsport avec les duos Ott Tänak – Martin Järveoja, Thierry Neuville – Nicolas Gilsoul and Sébastien Loeb –Daniel Elena. Crews that could logically hope to offer Hyundai a first victory in Monte-Carlo.

With a completely recomposed line-up with the arrivals of Sébastien Ogier et Julien Ingrassia (tenants du titre), Elfyn Evans – Scott Mattin et Kalle Rovanperä – Jonne Halttunen, Toyota Gazoo Racing visera un retour sur la plus haute marche du podium du Monte-Carl’, le dernier succès de la firme japonaise remontant à 1998 avec Carlos Sainz.

M-Sport Ford, seule équipe à s’être déjà imposé en Principauté avec Sébastien Ogier en 2017 et 2018, misera sur les tandems Esapekka Lappi – Janne Ferm, Teemu Suninen – Jarmo Lehtinen et Gus Greensmith – Elliott Edmondson.

Two other WRCs will be entered for this season opener, a Toyota Yaris WRC for Takamoto Katsuta and a Ford Fiesta for Lithuanian Deividas Jocius.

French Touch in WRC2 / WRC3

The categories will see French drivers in a good position, since Adrien fourmaux (Ford Fiesta R5 – M-Sport Ford) in WRC2, Yoann Bonato, Nicolas Ciamin, Eric Camilli, Yohan Rossel (Citroën C3 R5) and Stéphane Sarrazin (Hyundai i20 R5) in WRC3 will be there.

The Hyundai i20 R5s officially supported by Alzenau in WRC2 will be entrusted to Nikolay Gryazin and Ole Christian Veiby, while Mads Ostberg will defend the interests of Citroën Racing. We must not forget Oliver Solberg (Volkswagen Polo R5), not entered in WRC2.
