The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the world's greatest motor-racing events. Staged around the narrow, winding streets of Monte Carlo, the main attraction of the Monaco Grand Prix is the close proximity of the cars to the spectators. The twisting 77-lap circuit offers incalculable opportunities for spectators to witness the thrill of screaming engines, smoking tyres and the genius of the drivers. The Monaco Grand Prix is not only about the race through the streets. It is also about the harbour, the yachts, the surrounding hills and the breathtaking views of the port and all the glamour that goes with it.
