Last December, 100 crews submitted their applications to the Automobile Club de Monaco to participate in the next Rally Monte Carlo. With only 90 places available for around a hundred applications, there were bound to be some disappointed people.

En WRC, ten crews will take the start of Monte-Carlo on January 21. Title holder, Sébastien Ogier sera de la partie au volant de sa Toyota Yaris WRC. Vice-champion en 2020, Elfyn Evans répondra également présent tout comme les deux autres pilotes du constructeur japonais Kalle Rovanperä et Takamoto Katsuta.

Teemu Suninen et Gus Greensmith représenteront les intérêts de M-Sport avec la Ford Fiesta WRC.
Note the presence on the French side ofAdrien fourmaux and Yoann Bonato. The first is entered in WRC2 with M-Sport (Ford Fiesta WRC2), the second in WRC3 with Saintéloc Racing (Citroën C3 Rally 2).
Engaged full-time in WRC2, Andreas Mikkelsen will participate in Monte-Carlo 2021. On the Skoda Fabia Rally 2 Evo, the Norwegian will be guided by Ola Fløene.
