Not long before the beginning of the qualifying session for Race E, this morning, HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco honoured the paddock of his presence. He was escorted by ACM President Michel Boeri, Vice-President Michel Ferry, Gery Mestre, the Chairman of the Historic Cars Commission, and Christian Tornatore, the General Commissioner.

Before spending a long time chatting with Ferrari drivers René Arnoux and Jean Alesi, a moment before, His Royal Highness encouraged Monégasque driver Frédéric Lajoux who is entered for Race G in an Arrows A1B dating back to 1978.
