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 pilots his Gordini T15S, number 14, through a sweeping right-hand bend on his way to victory at the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix. That year, the event was exceptionally run as a race for sports cars. The track is lined with protective hay bales, while in the foreground, a tall lamppost casts a long shadow across the asphalt. In the background, the buildings of the principality ascend the hillside.
