2nd Historic Grand Prix of Monaco

April 14th 1929 - Ettore Bugatti was 48, Enzo Ferrari a young man of 31 years, Juan-Manuel Fangio just turned 18, and Graham Hill and Stirling Moss were just born at the time of the first Grand Prix of Monaco, which would turn into the most prestigious Motor Race of all times. The location of Monte Carlo, in the Principality of Monaco, with a scenic backdrop of classic architecture, nestled between rocks and the Mediterranean Sea, and the uniqueness of a race course located inside the town, continues until today to provide a most charming and truly 'royal' experience for Grand Prix spectators.

After more then 70 years of racing history, the Historic Grand Prix commemorates and celebrates the history of the Monaco racing heritage. With the first Grand Prix Historique de Monaco held in 1997, this year marks the second vintage Grand Prix in Monte Carlo .
