Last year, Sébastien Ogier and Vincent Landais won, driving the Toyota Yaris WRC.
With nine titles to his name, the Frenchman is the main favorite, because Sébastien Loeb and Kalle Rovanperä are not participating in this new edition of the Monte-Carlo rally.
This season, the route is divided into seventeen special stages.
This Thursday afternoon, the drivers take the road towards Thoard, location of the first event.
