Robert Manzon, (14) winner of the race, 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, in his Gordini T15S, number 14, navigates a curve during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was held as a sports car race. Manzon would go on to win the Prix de Monte Carlo for cars up to two litres. Lined with hay bales, the circuit is watched by crowds in grandstands and along a colonnaded balustrade. The terraced city, with its lush vegetation and a prominent stone bridge, rises steeply behind the track, providing a picturesque backdrop for the race.
