Spanish champions Eneko Conde and Lukas Sergnese secured a back-to-back win at the 8th Monte-Carlo E-Rally. Prince Albert II celebrated with the winners, including his niece Camille Gottlieb, who also triumphed.
Over three intense days of competition, the pair dominated the rain-slicked roads of the Alpes-Maritimes, overcoming weather challenges that forced event organisers to cancel the final four stages due to an orange alert. This achievement makes Conde and Sergnese the first team to claim back-to-back victories since the rally’s inception in 2016.
Despite difficult conditions, the rally effectively highlighted the advancing capabilities of electric vehicles. Each day, the 40 electric models representing 18 manufacturers covered impressive distances of 250 to 300 kilometers without recharging, a testament to the resilience and evolution of battery technology.
Along the route, local spectators gathered in towns and villages to witness the impressive lineup.
The 8th Monte-Carlo E-Rally not only marked a win for Spanish champions Eneko Conde and Lukas Sergnese, but also celebrated a standout performance from Camille Gottlieb, niece of Prince Albert II of Monaco. On Saturday 26th October, Gottlieb took the top spot in the ‘Trophée Enliten FIA Ecorally 2024’ with her co-driver Margaux Grundstein. Behind the wheel of her Volvo C40, Gottlieb competed with determination and purpose, showcasing both her driving skills and her commitment to promoting safer roads through her association, Be Safe.
