Circuit of Monaco

The Grand Prix of Monaco is held on the Circuit of Monaco . All the pilots dreamed to gain on this mythical layout which is slowest and hardest of the championship of the world of F1. The least error in the streets of the Principauté is fatal, the single-seaters putting up badly with contacts with the rails delimiting this nonpermanent circuit installed for the occasion in the middle of the city. The qualifications are always determining because the overtravel is almost impossible there. However, the remaining number of abandonments raised, a good behavior can ensure a place in the points.

It was the second circuit of the history to being traversed by Formula 1 in 1950 (May 21st), after Silverstone, but it had already accommodated races starting from 1929. There remains one of the last " circuits of hommes" where the talent of the pilot can still make the difference (For example Ayrton Senna gained it 6 times, including 5 times of sharp between 1989 and 1993).

The layout, which remained nearly identical since 1950, makes 3,340 km length. Passed the line, one finds oneself vis-a-vis the first Sainte Excessively pious woman turn, place of many fixings at the beginning. The track goes up until the left-right-hand side very tight of the Casino and from there, goes down again until the turn on the right of Mirabeau. She continues then until the turn out of pin of the old station of Monte Carlo, on the site of which the hotel Loews was built which gives its current name to this turn which is slowest of the championship. The section Gatekeeper led to the sea, where the track borrows a tunnel and leads to the baffle close to the port. Then, the turn on the left of the Tobacconist's Shop, the section of the Swimming pool (which was modified considerably with beginning of the year 70), then the stiff turn on the right with Rascasse, follow-up of the turn Anthony Noghes, then finally the line of the stands.
