Classic F1 slumbers in the 2024 Monaco Historique paddocks

We’re back on the Cote d’Azure for the Monaco Historic and it feels so good, as stunning grand prix and sportscar machinery lines up to take to the famed Monte Carlo streets once again. Held every two years, the Monaco Historic has a rarified and special feel.

In Monaco you feel like you’re getting a look behind the curtain, with the principality being where generations of F1 drivers – including many on the current grid – call home. And a look behind the curtain, of the cars resting in the paddocks ahead of the weekend’s action, is what we’ve got for you here.

Though there is a sportscar race, for front-engined machinery from 1952-1957, this is fundamentally an historic grand prix, meaning it’s mostly for F1 cars. So it’s single-seater F1 and grand prix machinery that we find mostly populates the 300-car roster and the paddocks.

There’s everything from the pre-war grand prix and voiturettes of the 'Louis Chiron' race, to the ground effect and turbo monsters of the 'Gilles Villeneuve' and 'Ayrton Senna' events. In all we have a selection of some seven decade’s worth of top-flight championship fighters. See what cars you can name…
