Monaco Grand Prix
The principality of
Monaco
holds one of the oldest races on the
Formula One
automobile racing circuit. The
Monaco Grand Prix
, held there annually, was first organized by
Antony Noghes
, a well-to-do cigarette manufacturer and a resident of Monte Carlo, under the auspices of
Prince Louis II
through the establishing of the "Automobile Club de Monaco" of which Noghes was the founding president.
Grand Prix motor racing
came to Monaco in
1929
when the first Grand Prix of Monaco automobile race was held. The inaugural race was won by
William Grover-Williams
(aka "Williams") driving a
Bugatti
painted in what would become the famous
British racing green
color. As a street race held on the
Circuit de Monaco
, which consists of the actual city streets of
Monte Carlo
and
La Condamine
, the race has many elevation shifts, tight corners, and a narrow course that make it perhaps the most demanding and the most dangerous track still in use in
Formula One
racing. In many ways, the Monaco course is an anachronism unsuitable for the race category because the narrow streets make it near-impossible to overtake on the track. However, its history and the spectacle of the event are likely to guarantee the event's future for some time yet. The Monaco Grand Prix was one of the inaugural races in the
Formula One
championship in 1950. However, there was no race in 1951, and in 1952 the Monaco Grand Prix took place but was not included within the Formula One championship. Since 1955, the Monaco Grand Prix has taken place each year and has been raced as part of the Formula One championship. The Grand Prix of Monaco is organized each year by the
Automobile Club de Monaco
who also runs the
Monte Carlo Rally
and the
Monaco Kart Cup
.
