Monaco Historic Grand Prix, May 11-12, 2024

 

The Monaco Historic Grand Prix usually takes place two weeks before the Monaco Grand Prix. The cars race on the same street circuit and the racing is viewed from the very same grandstands. Not only are the grandstand prices much lower but driver and car access is also much easier; classic car enthusiasts of all eras mingle with the drivers and owners in a very relaxed fashion.

The Monaco Historic Grand Prix is one of the world's great historic motorsport events. Monte Carlo itself provides glamour, colour and atmosphere while the circuit offers the spectator the chance to get as close to the action as is humanly possible.

This event is a celebration of the golden age of car racing and takes place on the famous street circuit that has hardly changed since the first race in 1929.

Grand Prix cars and Sports cars dating from pre-1934 to pre-1979 are organised into 6 groups. Each group will take part in two official timed practices on Saturday. The Grand Prix is on Sunday when each race will consist of 10 laps or a maximum of 30 minutes. There will be 15 laps or a maximum of 40 minutes for the F1 - 3 litre race.

There is a wide array of choice for Monaco and all our packages are bespoke. Please view the options below and we will put together any combination of travel, hotel, hospitality and tickets into the package that you want.
