This rally will be one of only four events in which Sebastian Loeb will be appearing in 2013. He will be driving car No.1, a number that will not be used by Citroen in rallies where Loeb is not competing.
This year, it is fractionally longer than in 2012 - 465 km over 18 stages, which is the longest since 1995. Organisers, the Automobile Club de Monaco, have kept the opening two days (Wednesday 16 January and Thursday 17 January) largely unchanged from 2012’s rally with a route around the city of Valence where the permanent service park is housed.
Shakedown is scheduled for Tuesday 15 January with the official starting ceremony taking place from 18:00hrs the same day. The traditional finaL podium will be in the grounds of the Place du Palais in Monaco at 11:00hrs on Sunday 20 January.
