Monaco Monte Carlo circuit description
As a street race held on Monaco Street Circuit, which consists of the actual city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix has many elevation shifts and tight corners. Monte Carlo is the slowest and shortest (3.340 km) racing circuit on the calendar. Comparing to other tracks, Monte Carlo do not hold an occasional main straight for to give the drivers a breather.
The streets of Monaco F1 are very narrow, and offer hardly any run-off zones. The narrow streets make it near-impossible to overtake during the Monte Carlo F1 Grand Prix. However, its history and the spectacle of the event are likely to guarantee the event's future for many years to come, as it is widely considered the Jewell of the maximum category.
Region
The Principality has a lot of history in its own right, with the Grimaldi Family having reigned supreme since 1297. In a Formula One context, the track is one of the greatest challenges on the calendar; it staged its first (pre championship) Grand Prix in 1929 and has remained largely unchanged ever since. Celebrities flock to the race like bees to a honey pot because it's the world's most glamorous sporting event. To name a few that have visited in recent years: actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley, soccer star Roberto Carlos and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich. You can take a stroll by the harbour, visit the Jardin Exotique (home to more than 7000 varieties of cacti alone) or walk around the Palais du Prince, the Grimaldi's official residence for 700 years.
