Robert Manzon, (56) Simca 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 Simca Gordini T15S (No. 56) through a sharp left-hand turn during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was transformed for the year into a sports car race. On the sun-drenched street circuit, spectators line the course, watching from behind fences and the crowded balconies of the Renaissance Hotel. A banner arches over the road ahead, while palm trees enhance the Mediterranean atmosphere, with the hillside city serving as a dramatic amphitheater for the event.
