The Monaco grand prix
✦ 25 to 28 May 2023.
The Monaco Grand Prix is a four-day motor race where speed, celebration and glamour meet. The race has been held since 1929 and since 1950 has been a regular race in the Formula One World Championship.
The race takes place in the narrow streets of Monaco, providing a breathtaking spectacle and testing the nerves of the spectators. The ultra-fast Formula 1 cars roar around the 3.3 kilometre circuit in the city centre, presenting a considerable challenge to the drivers.
On the harbour promenade, large grandstands are set up for the 100,000 spectators who come to Monaco each year to watch the Formula 1 race, which is a four-day celebration.
