Lancia returns to the Rallye Monte-Carlo: world debut in WRC2 for the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale

Scheduled from 22 to 25 January 2026, the 94^th edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo is the opening round of the 2026 WRC season. It marks Lancia’s official return to the World Rally Championship with the new Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale.
The event will feature 17 special stages, covering 339,15 timed kilometres, with the extreme weather conditions typical of Monte-Carlo.
Lancia Corse HF Team will field Yohan Rossel, making his seventh appearance at the Rallye Monte-Carlo, and Nikolay Gryazin, competing for the 6^th time in the Principality. Both crews arrive with strong performance ambitions at one of the most demanding events on the WRC calendar.
Taking centre stage is the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale, a brand-new car developed through an intensive testing and validation programme, integrating advanced solutions in terms of weight, aerodynamics, engine, transmission, chassis, ergonomics and FIA safety.
The strength of the project is confirmed by the 60 units of the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale already purchased by teams and private customers in these first months.
Trofeo Lancia set for its second edition, with the introduction of the new Ypsilon HF Racing Rally6 class.
