Robert Manzon, (56) Simca Gordini T15S. 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 navigates a corner in his No. 56 Simca Gordini T15S during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was transformed into a race for sports cars. As Manzon takes the turn, lined with hay bales, spectators watch from the balconies of the Renaissance Hotel. In the background, crowds gather behind a wooden fence featuring advertisements for Coca-Cola and Sodas Domino. He competed in the Prix de Monte Carlo, the event for cars with engines up to two litres.
