Joaquín Palacio, (54) Pegaso Z-102, 90 Stagnoli, Ferrari 225S, (62) René Cotton, Delahaye 135S. 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).

At the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, run exceptionally as a race for sports cars, mechanics and team members attend to the #54 Pegaso Z-102 driven by Joaquín Palacio. From a slightly elevated perspective, the scene unfolds along the wide track, lined with a stone balustrade and hay bales protecting a temporary grandstand. The dense, elegant architecture of the city rising on the hillside provides a glamorous backdrop, capturing the unique atmosphere of post-war European motorsport.
