In order to develop motorsport, Automobile Club de Monaco set up the first safety rails around the track. Similar to those you can see on the motorway, these barriers have to protect drivers, spectators and marshals.
Before this evolution, the track was secured by haystacks.
Nowadays, the Monégasque track is surrounded by 21km of safety rails.
In 1961, Stirling Moss won the race, driving a Lotus Climax.
With that victory, he became the first driver to claim three wins in the Principality.
For the ‘greatest driver never to win the World Championship’, the Monaco GP is a race where speed is not terribly important: « It’s just how good the car is, how well you can handle the car. It really is a fabulous race. »

The current situation concerning the worldwide pandemic and its unknown path of evolution, the lack of understanding as to the impact on the FIA F1 World Championship 2020, the uncertainty with regards to the participation of the teams, the consequences with regards to the differing measures of confinement as taken by various governments worldwide, the multi-border restrictions for accessing the Principality of Monaco, the pressure on all implicated businesses, their dedicated staff who are unable to undertake the necessary installations, the availability of the indispensable workforce and volunteers (more than 1500) required for the success of the event means that the situation is no longer tenable.
As a result, and after careful consideration as to the gravity of this crisis worldwide, it is with great sadness that the AUTOMOBILE CLUB DE MONACO Board of Directors has taken the decision to cancel the 12th GRAND PRIX DE MONACO HISTORIQUE (8-10 May 2020) and the 78th GRAND PRIX DE MONACO FORMULA 1, FIA World Championship (21-24 May 2020).
To all the fans, spectators, partners and our members, the Board of Directors wishes to express its sincere regrets that these two events cannot be postponed and under no circumstances, will it be possible to organize these events later this year.
