This was a two day event, the Sunday, Prix Monte Carlo, for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Grand Prix, Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix). The Aston engine of Parnell blows up in the Ste-Devote and aligns his car against the straw bales, Stagnoli brakes too hard and does a double spin. Moss, Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 and Manzon find an obstructed road, spin and end up against the poor Aston, then Hume spins and reverses into the pile. Fortunately nobody gets hurt.

Stirling Moss sits with focused concentration in his number 78 Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, an event held for sports cars that year. At the Sainte-Dévote corner, he attempts to restart his car following a multi-car accident. A crew member leans in to assist, an action that ultimately led to Moss being black-flagged for receiving outside help. The sun-drenched circuit, lined with hay bales, curves uphill past grand buildings where spectators watch from ornate balconies.
