The Monza Rally Show 2024 proved to be a major success, with over 25,000 attendees gathering at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza over three days to witness the biggest names in Italian and international rally racing. The Masters’ Show was broadcast live on more than 50 TV channels or online platforms, with a total of over 110 media outlets covering the event, reaching a potential audience close to one billion viewers (over 700 million for the live broadcast).
The Masters’ Show, streamed live on Rai Play, ACI TV, and Dazn—with delayed coverage on Rai Sport at 4:45 PM—was won by Adrien Fourmaux, who delivered a fitting farewell to Ford. Driving the Puma, Fourmaux defeated newly crowned world champion Thierry Neuville (Hyundai i20 N), his future teammate, in the final showdown.
In the Rally 2 category, Andrea Crugnola emerged victorious in the Masters’ Show after clinching his second win at the Monza Rally Show earlier in the day, repeating his 2019 triumph. Driving a Citroën C3 with team E.A. Sport Investment and co-driver Andrea Sassi, Crugnola narrowly defeated Nikolay Gryazin and Konstantin Aleksandrov in the final stage, “Roccolo,” by 8.3 seconds. Despite leading earlier in the day by winning “Autodromo 2,” the Movisport Skoda Fabia RS duo finished just 2.7 seconds behind Crugnola overall.
Third place went to New Zealanders Hayden Paddon and John Kennard (Hyundai i20 N), completing the 151.38 timed kilometers with a 26.6-second deficit.
Motocross legend Tony Cairoli, a nine-time world champion and Monza Rally Show veteran, finished 11th with a time of 2’14”7 alongside co-driver Eleonora Mori in a Movisport Skoda Fabia RS. Meanwhile, cycling icon Vincenzo Nibali, paired with Alessandro Franco, had to retire due to a technical issue with his Toyota Yaris from T-Racing.
The women’s podium saw Rachele Somaschini and Giulia Zanchetta finishing 26th overall in their Hawk Racing Club Citroën C3.
The event also marked the farewell of Pirelli to the WRC, concluding its four-season journey in the World Rally Championship.
The dates for the 2025 edition have already been announced: December 5–7, promising another thrilling chapter at this legendary venue.
