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, in his number 56 Simca Gordini T15S, navigates a sweeping right-hand turn during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was exceptionally run as a race for sports cars. Wearing a white helmet, Manzon passes spectators packed behind barriers and hay bales lining the city circuit. In the background, the balconies of the Renaissance Hotel are crowded with onlookers, while period advertisements for "Coca-Cola" and "SODAS DUBONNET" are visible along the track wall.
