Winner of the Prix de Monte Carlo Robert Manzon, Gordini 23S. Prince Rainier and his father Prince Pierre. Right Antony Noghès, founder of the race. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

Robert Manzon, seated in his Gordini 23S, holds up the large silver trophy after winning the Prix de Monte Carlo. In 1952, the Monaco Grand Prix was a two-day sports car event, with this race for cars with engines up to 2 litres. Watching the ceremony from a covered stage are Prince Rainier, in a light double-breasted suit, and his father, Prince Pierre. To the right stands Antony Noghès, founder of the race. A laurel wreath rests near the car, which is lined by protective hay bales as a photographer captures the moment.
