The Circuit de Monaco

The Circuit de Monaco is a 3.337 km (2.074 mi) street circuit that circles the Principality of Monaco's harbor on the streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine. It is often and even officially referred to as "Monte Carlo" because it is mostly located within Monaco's Monte Carlo area.


Antony Noghès, president of the Monegasque motor club, Automobile Club de Monaco, and a close friend of the ruling Grimaldi family, proposed a Grand Prix race around the streets of Monaco. The first race was held in 1929, and William Grover-Williams won in a Bugatti. The circuit hosts the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, Formula E Monaco ePrix, and Historic Grand Prix of Monaco on three weekends each year in April and May. Over the years, Formula One's feeder series - Formula 3000, GP2 Series, and now the Formula 2 championship and Porsche Supercup - have also visited the circuit concurrently with Formula One. The Monaco Grand Prix is one of three races in which victories contribute toward the Triple Crown of Motorsport.


Only three local drivers have won a race at the circuit thus far. Louis Chiron did it at the non-championship 1931 Monaco Grand Prix; 82 years later, Stefano Coletti won the short race at the 2013 Monaco GP2 Series round. Stéphane Richelmi was the third driver to achieve so during the sprint race of the 2014 Monaco GP2 Series round.
