David Clarke, (30) Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Mk II. 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).

David Clarke pilots his Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Mk II, bearing the number 30, mid-turn on the elegant street circuit of Monaco. In 1952, the Grand Prix was transformed into a sports car race; this is the Prix de Monte Carlo for cars up to two litres. The blur of the wheels conveys motion as Clarke navigates the curve, lined with spectators and grand Belle Époque architecture. Tall palm trees frame the scene, evoking the classic atmosphere of mid-century European motor racing.
