The first rallying event of the season is literally around the corner with the traditional curtain raiser of Rallye Monte-Carlo on January 23 to 26. 

Rallye Monte-Carlo will ignite a fresh start to the WRC season after Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe secured their drivers and co-drivers title last season, and Toyota Gazoo Racing took the top team honours. 

A total of 14 rounds will make up the refreshed championship spanning from January until November, starting in Monte-Carlo and ending in Saudi Arabia. 

As such, all three cars have now been revealed ahead of the season-opener which will get underway on Thursday with three stages making up the first day. 

M-Sport Ford was the latest – and last – to reveal their 2025 championship contender, which will be piloted by Gregoire Munster and Josh McErlean. The Cumbrian-based team are also the only team to introduce a refreshed livery to the season. The new livery features a purple-blue colour scheme as they move away from last year’s white-and-blue palette.

Hyundai was the second team to reveal their 2025 livery with a simple copy-and-paste design being brought over from last year, highlighted by the team’s ‘CTRL C, CTRL V’ caption. The South Korean team maintains its light blue and red design for their upcoming title fight. 

The same will be said for the defending champions, Toyota, who were the first to reveal their livery for the 2025 season back on January 12. Like last year, Toyota will remain with a predominantly black livery with the white and red ‘GR’ shining through the dark livery.
