The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique
Once every two years, the streets of Monte Carlo are given over to grids of period racing cars, from pre-war Bugattis to 1980s turbo-era Formula 1, on the same circuit as the modern Grand Prix. Three nights at the Hôtel de Paris, Casino-side terrace hospitality, paddock access throughout.
The 16th edition.

Pre-war Bugattis
to turbo-era Brabhams
The grids are organised by the ACM by era and engine. Pre-war Grand Prix Bugattis, Maseratis and ERA cars. 1950s front-engined F1 Maseratis, Lotuses and BRMs. The gold-and-black 1970s Lotus 72s in the magic hour. And the turbo-era 1980s Formula 1 cars that closed the era, on the same circuit they raced when they were new.

each edition
The same streets,
a fraction of the crowd
The modern Monaco Grand Prix is a wall of people at your elevation. The Historique is a quieter, more serious crowd, many of them in the paddock between sessions an arm’s length from cars worth a fortune. Period overalls. Period helmets. Drivers who raced these cars when they were new.
You can stand at the hairpin while a 1970s Formula 1 car comes through it sideways, and walk the paddock between sessions. None of that happens when the modern circus arrives. This is the version of Monaco the regulars actually look forward to.
Three nights on Casino Square,
three days at the circuit
Helicopter from Nice on arrival, suite at the Hôtel de Paris, terrace hospitality at Sainte Dévote with sight of the run up to Beau Rivage, and open paddock access throughout the weekend.

Frequently asked
questions
When is the 2028 Monaco Historique?
The Automobile Club de Monaco has confirmed the 16th edition returns in 2028, run on the same streets as the modern Grand Prix. Exact dates are published by the ACM nearer the event — we confirm them with you the moment they are official, well ahead of when you’d need to travel.
What's different from the modern Monaco GP?
Same streets, but grids of period racing cars from pre-war Bugattis to 1980s turbocharged F1, grouped by era. A fraction of the crowd. Paddock access between sessions. Period drivers in period overalls. The connoisseur’s Monaco.
What hospitality is included?
Three days of Casino-side terrace hospitality with sight of Sainte Dévote and the run up to Beau Rivage. Open paddock access between sessions — the rare Monaco pass that lets you walk the cars and meet the drivers. Lunch and open bar each day.
Helicopter from Nice or train?
The standard package includes the private helicopter from Nice-Côte d’Azur to Monaco Heliport — around seven minutes along the coast. Prefer the ground? The train from Nice-Ville to Monaco Monte-Carlo takes about twenty minutes along the water, and we’ll adjust the package accordingly.
Group sizes & corporate parties?
Default packages are held in pairs. Larger groups (eight to forty) and corporate parties — including private terrace boxes at Casino Square or yacht hire in Monte Carlo Harbour for the weekend — arranged directly with your Above + Beyond representative.
