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).

Driving the No. 56 Simca Gordini T15S, Robert Manzon navigates a tight hairpin turn during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix. That year, the event was transformed into a two-day race for sports cars. Spectators line the entire street circuit, watching from behind balustrades and on the crowded balconies of the Renaissance Hotel. Tire marks trace the path of the vehicles on the asphalt, while banners for "SODAS" and "SOL" hang above the track, surrounded by the lush palm trees of the coastal city.
