The Historic Grand Prix of Monaco exists since 1997. It's organised 2 weeks before the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco. It takes place on the same circuit as the Formula 1 Grand Prix with the charming old cars that propose a travel back in time. Organised every two years by the Automobile Club of Monaco (ACM), it's a success for the spectators that come more and more each year.

For the 2010 edition of the Grand Prix Historique, Formula Junior cars (1958 - 1963) have been replaced by Formula 3, 1000cc, 1600cc and 2000cc, built and raced prior to 31/12/1984.
