GRAND PRIX HISTORY
The
Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One race held annually in the Principality
of Monaco and pre-dates the organized World Championships. The principality's
first Grand Prix race was organized in 1929 by Antony Noghes, a well-to-do
cigarette manufacturer and a resident of Monte Carlo, under the auspices
of Prince Louis II through the establishment of the "Automobile
Club de Monaco" of which Noghes was the founding president.
The
Monaco Grand Prix was one of the inaugural races in the Formula One
championship in 1950. However, there was no race in 1951, and in 1952
the Monaco Grand Prix took place as a sports car event which was not
included within the Formula One championship.
In
many ways, the Monaco course is an anachronism unsuitable for the race
category because the narrow streets make it near-impossible to overtake
on the track. However, its history and the spectacle of the event are
likely to guarantee the event's future for many years to come, as it
is widely considered the jewel of the maximum category.
