Monaco may be small – the entire principality could fit
inside London's Hyde Park – but it packs a punch.
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...

Monaco with is Glitz
and Glamor is a sought after destination with one of the most challenging and
difficult tracks in the world, following the narrow and twisty roads of Monaco
making overtaking almost impossible in most places, this is where all the World
Class F1 racing professionals gather as this is the event which truly defines a
racers career, the great Nelson Piquet said, “a win here is worth two anywhere
else!”.

The city of Monaco is a sought after destination in its own
right all year round, with people wishing to stay in some of the many splendid
and luxurious Belle Epoque Mansions in close by Cap Martin, Eze, Beaulie and
Cap Ferrat, all just a short drive to Monaco, but the city really reaches fever
pitch during the Granx Prix week when
the famous harbour stipe jostles to house an even larger than average number of ‘super yachts’ all demanding prime views of
the track, their decks heaving under the weight of the very rich an d famous
with their advantageous and relaxed view
of the race whilst sipping champagne along with their entourage.
The glamorous city
has wealth of luxury shops and boutiques where you can find all the top
designers such as Christian Dior which will certainly satisfy the most
insatiable shopper not to mention the fine cuisine which is has a heavy Italian
influence.
As the sounds of the
Forumla one engines fade and nigh begins to fall, the VIP’s and stars arrive to
enjoy the evening private parties, yacht dinners and Grand Prix Launch and
Winners parties get underway with music playing until the early hours…
