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, in his Gordini T15S (No. 14), navigates a turn on the hay-bale-lined street circuit during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was held exceptionally for sports cars. Manzon won the Prix de Monte Carlo for engines up to two litres. Spectators fill the grandstands and a columned terrace, with advertisements for "Coca-Cola" and "SODAS DOMINO" visible below the densely built, terraced hillside of the principality.
