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, winner of the Prix de Monte Carlo, rounds a corner in his number 14 Gordini T15S during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was uniquely transformed into a race for sports cars. In the background, spectators crowd the ornate balconies of the Belle Époque-style Hôtel de Paris, which provides a grand backdrop to the street circuit. Hay bales serve as a safety barrier along the palm-lined road, as the car, with Manzon visible in a white helmet, is captured in a slight blur of motion.
