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's Pegaso Z-102 (No. 54) navigates the street circuit during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was exceptionally run as a sports car race. From behind hay bale barriers, spectators watch the action unfold against the dense, hillside cityscape. The event also featured drivers such as René Cotton in a Delahaye 135S and Eugenio Castellotti in a Ferrari 225S. In the foreground, a stationary open-top car receives attention from mechanics, completing the classic mid-century motor racing scene.
