four world champions at the start of a WRC event, a first in 20 years

The first coronation of Thierry Neuville in November and the full-time return of Kalle Rovanperä (2 titles in 2022 and 2023), his predecessor, will offer the public of this 93rd Monte-Carlo rally, which begins this Thursday evening, a spectacle rare: that of seeing four world champions in action in the same event since the Belgian and the Finn will be added Sébastien Ogier (8 titles in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021) and Ott Tänak (1 title in 2019).
