 ne
of the world's greatest and most challenging motor-racing
events, the Monaco Grand Prix is the last 'street course'
remaining in the Formula One calendar. Staged around
the narrow, winding streets of Monte Carlo, the attraction
of the Monaco Grand Prix is the proximity of the speeding
Formula One cars to the race spectators. The twisting
78-lap circuit offers countless opportunities over the
263-kilometre race to witness the thrill of screaming
engines, smoking tyres and the genius of the drivers
on a course that allows no margin for error. Since the
first Monaco Grand Prix was staged on the 14 April 1929,
the fastest average race speed has risen from 80 kilometres
(50 miles) per hour to 142 kilometres (88 miles) per
hour.
