Oliver Solberg becomes the youngest WRC-era Monte-Carlo winner
Solberg held his lead through a demanding final leg to take a record-setting Rallye Monte-Carlo victory.
Oliver Solberg won the 2026 Rallye Monte-Carlo after negotiating snow, ice and changing grip across the season-opening World Rally Championship round. The official WRC account described the victory as the youngest-ever Monte-Carlo win of the championship era.
The result placed Solberg ahead of a strong Toyota field at one of rallying's most technically unpredictable events. Monte-Carlo's combination of tyre strategy, weather reading and stage management made the win a significant opening statement for the 2026 season.
