Upcoming Events
On this Sunday, April 6th, we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the passing of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III.
His deep attachment to the Automobile Club de Monaco and the unwavering support he consistently showed remain a true source of inspiration for our daily commitment. His memory continues to guide each of our actions.
A true motorsport enthusiast, Prince Rainier III played a pivotal role in the growth and international prestige of the Monaco Grand Prix. Through his vision and dedication, the event has become one of the most iconic and celebrated races on the Formula 1 calendar, blending tradition, excellence, and emotion. In 2005, the official Monaco Grand Prix poster was dedicated to him, offering a heartfelt tribute to his memory and unwavering commitment to this legendary event.
Just 100 years ago, on 29 March 1925, a decisive step was taken in the history of motor sport in the Principality. On that day, the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) officially adopted its current name, succeeding the name of Sport Automobile et Vélocipédique de Monaco (SAVM) and asserting its own identity within the international motor racing landscape.
The origins of the Automobile Club de Monaco date back to 1890, when a group of automobile and cycling enthusiasts decided to join forces under the name of ‘Sport Vélocipédique Monégasque’. At the dawn of the 20th century, the automobile revolution rapidly transformed modes of transport and attitudes. However, at the instigation of Prince Louis II, the idea of a specifically Monegasque club dedicated to motoring took shape.
In 1925, the association officially became the Automobile Club de Monaco. This change of name reflected the desire of the Principality to assert itself on the international scene as a dynamic and innovative nation in the field of motor sport.
Since then, the ACM has continued to develop and organise major events. In 1929, under the impetus of Antony Noghès, the ACM launched the first Monaco Grand Prix, a unique urban race that would become one of the most prestigious events in world motor sport.
Today, the Automobile Club de Monaco continues this tradition of excellence by organising renowned events such as the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco, the Rallye Monte-Carlo WRC and the Monaco E-Prix. Its commitment to innovation and the preservation of motorsport history remains as strong as ever.
29 March 1925 will remain a symbolic date, marking the beginning of a new era for the ACM and its international influence.
Following the six-year renewal of the agreement between the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) and the Formula One Group on November 14 last year, the ACM’s Events Organising Committee is today unveiling the dates of the track events that will be held until 2031.
In 2025, spring in the Principality will see the Monaco E-Prix held for the first time over 2 days, on 03 & 04 May. This will be followed by the 82nd Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco, on 22-25 May.
From 2026, the events calendar of the legendary Circuit de Monaco will change. In accordance with the agreements signed with the promotor, the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco will now take place every first weekend in June. In addition, there will now be 3 weeks between each event. It should be noted that these dates are subject to approval of the calendar by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique will continue to be held every other year. Consequently, even-numbered years will begin with the historic event at the end of April, before moving on to the Monaco E-Prix in mid-May and the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco at the beginning of June.

The potential dates for the Monaco E-Prix from 2027 are subject to the renewal of the current contract with the Promoter.
Since 1939, the Medals for Physical Education and Sports has honored and rewarded personalities who participate in the development of Sport in the Principality of Monaco.
This medal, in bronze, silver or vermeil, underlines the commitment of its owners.
And once again this year, as part of the festivities for Monaco’s National Day, many of these players were rewarded by H.S.H. Prince Albert II.
Among them were 15 recipients from the Automobile Club de Monaco, whom President Michel BOERI also honored during a dedicated dinner organized in the ACM’s Salons on Wednesday 27th November 2024.

The Automobile Club de Monaco has been working for many years with the Monaco Government to protect the environment and organise new energy events, and for the third year running it took part in the European Week for Waste Reduction 2024 (EWWR). Organised from 16 to 24 November, the aim of the programme is to spotlight specific topics and encourage the development of eco-responsible initiatives.
Eat better, waste less
This year, food was the main featured theme. For the occasion, the ACM’s restaurant team, ‘Le Club’, proposed a special menu based solely around chocolate. Our customer members were able to discover plates featuring chocolate at all 3 stages of their meal: The first course is a pear and duck breast salad with chocolate vinaigrette, followed by chocolate chicken for the main course, and the famous black forest for dessert. A guaranteed mouth-watering success!
A morning of cleaning
Another initiative put in place by the ACM for the EWWR 2024 was a ‘clean-up’ walk along Monaco’s roads. Over half a day, our group of volunteers collected a total of 74 kg of rubbish over 5 km. A figure that once again highlights the need to step up our awareness campaigns and educate people to respect our environment.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: this was the main theme throughout this week of action, in which many of the Principality’s institutions and businesses were involved. For more information on the EWWR: www.ewwr.eu

For the second year in a row, the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) took part in the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) from 21 to 26 November 2023. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle : this was the key message throughout the operation, in which many of the Principality’s institutions and companies got involved, focusing especially on the theme of packaging.
As part of its commitment to the Government of Monaco and Motorsport Promoters, and on the strength of its actions throughout the year through its events (distribution of water bottles, ashtrays to the public, “upcycled” bags), the Automobile Club de Monaco was keen to highlight 3 specific operations during this major ecology week:
A round-table discussion was also held with internal staff to share best practices and find new ideas for reducing packaging.
As a reminder, last year’s collection enabled us to collect materials for our ongoing upcycling projects, and to make shopping bags that are now being distributed to journalists and volunteers during our events, and now on sale to the general public at the Official Store for €15…
Together, let’s commit for the future !
