Repackaged, publication date 1998, 460 pages, D/E/F
In the hierarchy of sporting events, the Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco is a king and, at the same time, an anachronism of almost absurd proportions. Danger is ever-present, and it is a true miracle that so few have come to harm in its long history. Here, a symbiosis of the utterly incompatible takes place. Order pairs with chaos, tranquil idyll with frenzied hustle and bustle, permanence with change. The poor man on the Rocher below the old town and the rich man on his racing yacht at the Quai Antoine I are equal before the majesty of this event. In the diaries of the famous, the beautiful and the powerful, Monaco is marked as a must - just as it is in the television schedules of millions of viewers around the world. This book is a tribute to a cult event.
This large-format edition contains vivid photos capturing every era of Formula 1 in Monaco from 1929 to 1998. It covers triumphs and tragedies, famous track features such as the Loews hairpin and Casino Square, as well as great drivers past and present, including "Mr Monaco" Graham Hill, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, to name just a few.
