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, at the wheel of his dark Osca MT4 1350, navigates the city circuit during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was exceptionally run as a sports car event. The number 34 car, its wire-spoke wheels blurred with speed, passes hay bales and sandbags lining the course. Spectators watch from the ornate balconies of grand buildings, set against a backdrop of tall palm trees, as Bordoni competes in the Prix de Monte Carlo for cars under two litres.
