Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. When the Dream Becomes Reality

Every two years, the Principality stops looking to the future and turns, proudly, back to its own past with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique — not a mere re-enactment, but a journey through time that returns Monaco to its purest essence, amid the vibrant music of engines from different eras, the smell of petrol, and races run without strategy. Drivers and collectors arrived from every corner of the world to race on the legendary street circuit, already laid out in its 2026 GP de Monaco configuration, with its historic corners — Sainte Dévote, Casino, Mirabeau, Portier, Tabac and Rascasse — and the guardrails to be brushed by inches.
The splendid stage of the Monaco circuit turns proudly back to its own past, bringing onto the track the cars that made the history of the most iconic street race in the world.
Walking through the paddock means breathing the atmosphere of another time: no lavish, off-limits megastructures, but legendary cars kept side by side beneath great open marquees, surrounded by mechanics at work, before being sent out to the track grouped by era and by category — single-seaters and sports cars alike — only a few metres from the fans. Anyone with a grandstand ticket can also enter the paddock to see this magnificent gathering up close. An old-fashioned atmosphere — authentic, alive. Present at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique were names that, all on their own, tell the magnitude of this event — Jean Alesi, Jacky Ickx, Marc Gené, Fernando Alonso and Charles Leclerc — alongside international guests of the calibre of Hollywood star Bradley Cooper, all drawn to an appointment that keeps its prestige and its glamour fully intact.
