Ascari, (26) Lancia D50, Behra, (34) Maserati 250F, Mieres, (36 Maserati 250F, Manzon, (8) Gordini T16. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

A powerful sense of speed is conveyed through motion blur as a field of open-wheel racers navigates the sun-drenched street circuit during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. Among the competitors captured in this dynamic view are Alberto Ascari in his Lancia D50 (#26), Jean Behra (#34) and Roberto Mieres (#36) in their Maserati 250Fs, and Robert Manzon in a Gordini T16 (#8). Large crowds of spectators line the curving course, watching the action from behind low barriers and the balconies of hillside buildings.
