The Monaco Grand Prix
has been eagerly-anticipated and should be on everyone’s ‘to do list’, the
atmosphere this year was absolutely electric and not just during the race
dates!
Monaco has been the
epicentre of all racing activity In
the 85 years since the first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929. The cars may have evolved enormously into the
amazing Formula one vehicles we see today, But the Monaco track layout and many
of the buildings and the harbour and cliffs surrounding it have remained almost
exactly as they were way back then...
