Monaco Historic Grand Prix 2026

 

The Timeless Magic of The Monaco Historic Grand Prix 2026

The glamour of Monaco isn't just found in the future of the sport; it's deeply rooted in its soul.

As we look ahead to Friday 24th, Saturday 25th, and Sunday 26th April 2026, the Principality transforms into a living museum for the 15th edition of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.

This biennial event has rapidly ascended to the pinnacle of the classic motoring calendar, now standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. 

It is a pure, visceral spectacle where history doesn't just sit on a pedestal—it competes at full throttle.

A Symphony of Speed Through the Eras

Don’t let the "Historic" label fool you. These participants turn up to win. Watching these machines tackle the legendary street circuit—the same roads used in the very first race in 1929—is an experience of pure magic.

• The 1950s: The iconic "cigar" classic shapes, where bravery was the only driver's aid.

• The 1970s: The dawn of the "ground effect" era, where aerodynamics began to redefine physics.

• The 1980s: The high-octane, screaming V12 and Turbo era that many consider the golden age of raw power.

The air in Monte Carlo becomes a heady mix of scorched rubber and high-octane fuel, while the bay’s natural amphitheatre echoes with the screams of super-tuned engines from a bygone era.

The Auction Houses: Art on Wheels

The weekend is a mecca for collectors, highlighted by two of the world's most prestigious classic car auctions. 

Bonhams and RM Sotheby’s both return to the Principality, with the RM Sotheby’s auction at the Grimaldi Forum (April 24-25) already promising a "Monaco Magic" lineup. 

Whether you're bidding for a Ferrari 250 GTO or simply marvelling at the provenance, these auctions are a spectacle in their own right.
