The Principality and the Automobile Club de Monaco are once
again all set for the challenge of hosting no fewer than three Grands Prix -
each one a roaring celebration of motor sport and a thrilling spectacle for
fans around the world - in the space of just a month.
From
the electric excitement of Formula E, to the timeless class of the Grand Prix
Historique, and finally the ultimate prestige of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the
iconic streets of Monaco will be the stage for a series of action-packed
races.
The Monegasque circuit is not only a big favourite with drivers, but
also happens to be one of the most challenging in the world. And over the next
few weeks, the eyes of the motor sport world will be firmly fixed on this
little corner of the Mediterranean, with plenty of breathtaking spectacle in
store! The action starts with the 7th Monaco E-Prix (Saturday 27 April 2024),
followed by the 14th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique (10 to 12 May), and
finally the climax of this festival of racing, the 81st Formula 1 Grand Prix
(23 to 26 May).
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is headed for the Principality for the seventh time, with the Monegasque
stage now a regular fixture on the competition’s calendar. The meeting will
include free practice sessions, qualifying, the main race, and a bonus in the
shape of the Allianz Fan Village, with free admission for all spectators and a
host of fun activities for all the family. The big new addition this year is
FIA Girls on Track, an all-female initiative designed to encourage young women
aged 12 to 18 to get into the buzzing world of Formula-E.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique will then return for its 14th edition, to the delight of the thousands
of classic car fans who flock to the Principality to enjoy the spectacle. The
Organising and Selection Committee of the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) has
announced its decision to “retain the same 8 series and classes unchanged for
2024”. The event will feature tributes and anniversary celebrations in honour
of legendary drivers and cars, and as always promises a real journey through
the history of automobiles, all the way back to 1924.
The hotly anticipated 81st Formula 1 Grand Prix will provide a fitting finale to this month of incredible motor sport.
The world’s greatest drivers will once again push their cars to the limit
around the narrow streets of this legendary, yet perilous circuit. Who will
take the crown from Max Verstappen, winner of last year’s 80th Grand Prix? One
thing’s for certain - the red and white flags will be flying proudly in support
of local hero, Charles Leclerc. Let the show begin, and may the best driver win!
