April 23 – 25 , 2021

This Grand Prix Historique will mark the 12th edition of this prestigious event in the Principality . During two and a half days , all competitors will share their passion for high level motor racing with thousands of fans — on a mythical track where 80 % of the straight lines and turns are exactly the same as in 1929 , and still used every year for the most glamorous Grand Prix of the Formula 1 World Championship . Despite all current sanitary protocols caused by the pandemic , 170 competitors have entered the event . The diversity and richness of the field will allow celebrations of the greatness of the Ferrari brand , and in particular its very first win in the Formula 1 World Championship , by Argentine ’ s Froilan Gonzales in 1951 on the Silverstone track . Six models that belong to the legend of motorsport will be visible and active on the mythical Monaco track . https :// acm . mc https :// acm . mc https :// acm . mc / en / edition / grand-prix-demonaco-historique-2021 /
