Participants began from six starting cities across Europe, including:
All routes converged near Monte Carlo, ending with a concentration run followed by a final test stage — the Mont des Mules hill climb and driving tests on the Col de Braus. Snow and ice plagued several segments, particularly in the Alps, requiring exceptional driving skill and tire strategy.
