Robert Manzon, (14) winner of the race, Gordini T15S. 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).

Robert Manzon navigates a turn in his Gordini T15S (No. 14) during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which that year was transformed into a race for sports cars. Manzon would go on to win the "Prix de Monte Carlo" for vehicles with engines up to 2 litres. The track, edged with sandbags and hay bales, is lined with advertisements for Coca-Cola and Simca. In the background, a large crowd watches from tiered seating, set against a backdrop of lush trees and elegant architecture.
