The first Rallye Monte Carlo Classique which celebrated the 90th anniversary of the Start of the Monte Carlo Rallye in 1926 was such a success and created such a stir when the old cars arrived in Monte Carlo, that the Automobile Club de Monaco have decided to roll out the Classique to all of the Start Towns in Europe. The Classique is an official Automobile de Monaco event and as in 2016, it will run alongside the Rally Monte Carlo Historique. Starting at Paisley Abbey on 25 January 2017, it will follow the same route (the Concentration Run) all the way to Monte Carlo.
