Franco Bordoni, (34) Osca MT4 1350. 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).

Franco Bordoni pilots his Osca MT4 1350 around a corner during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was run as a sports car race. Competing in the Prix de Monte Carlo for cars under two litres, the helmeted driver navigates the street circuit before the grand, ornate façade of the Monte Carlo Casino. Spectators gather behind a simple fence to watch the open-top race car pass under the leafy trees lining the course.
