The mythical race that every driver dreams to win attracts
visitors coming from all over the world to enjoy an exciting weekend watching
and supporting their favourite Formula 1 stars trying to be the first one to
cross the finish line at the end of 78 laps.
Held for the first time in 1929 the Grand Prix has become a
very historical event. Its claim to fame lies in the beauty of the circuit
offering amazing views over the French Riviera and the harbour of Monaco
hosting some of the most exclusive and luxurious yachts in the world. The 3.34
km long circuit is supposed to be one of the most dangerous and challenging
ones making the race an extremely hard one for the drivers.
Even though the Grand Prix was definitely the highlight, the
principality of Monaco always offers a diversity of Grand Prix related events
and cultural highlights before the big race including a collective exhibition
on the theme of 'Grand Prix: Artworks', an exhibition of 'Speed Motoring Art'
and even an auction of the world's amazing cars including Formula 1 legend
Michael Schumacher's car from the Austrian Grand Prix of 2000.
