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 pilots his Gordini T15S (No. 14) through a sweeping turn during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix. That year, the event was transformed into a race for sports cars, and Manzon would emerge as the victor of the "Prix de Monte Carlo" for vehicles up to 2 litres. Seen from an elevated viewpoint, the track is lined with hay bales and a prominent lamppost, while long shadows from a low sun stretch across the pavement. In the distance, the city climbs the hillside.
