Franco Bordoni, (34) Osca MT4 1350. 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).
Franco Bordoni pilots his Osca MT4 1350, number 34, during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was reformatted that year as a sports car event. Captured in a motion blur, the low-slung, open-cockpit vehicle speeds around a curve on the street circuit. Spectators watch from behind striped barriers and a stone retaining wall, while establishments like the Hotel Balmoral and Chatham restaurant overlook the track. In the background, the dense city climbs the lush, palm-dotted hillside under an overcast sky.
