René Cotton, (62) Delahaye 135S, Joaquín Palacio, (54) Pegaso Z-102, Eugenio Castellotti, (92) Ferrari 225S. 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).

Joaquín Palacio pilots his Pegaso Z-102 (#54) along the urban circuit during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, exceptionally transformed into a race for sports cars. In the distance, Eugenio Castellotti’s Ferrari 225S (#92) is visible on the track. Spectators watch from a grandstand protected by hay bales, with the steep, building-covered hills of Monte Carlo providing the iconic backdrop. In the foreground, a mechanic tends to a stationary race car in a makeshift pit area.
