Monaco Historic Grand Prix Race Information

The Monaco Historic Grand Prix first made its debut in 1997, and since then, it has made a splash in the Grand Prix calendar. This race takes place on the same circuit as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and is a draw for fans who are passionate about classic cars, as it usually includes an outstanding exhibition.

Circuit de Monaco

Despite the challenges that this narrow circuit through the glamorous streets of Monaco poses to drivers, it has fuelled dreams in motorsports for decades.
