The starting grid for the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, with classic front-engine race cars lined up before a massive crowd. In the front row are Juan Manuel Fangio in the #2 Mercedes-Benz W196, Alberto Ascari in the #26 Lancia D50, and Stirling Moss in his #6 Mercedes. Behind them, the field includes Eugenio Castellotti (#30 Lancia) and Jean Behra (#34 Maserati). The dense architecture of Monaco climbs the hillside in the background, overlooking a sun-drenched circuit lined with advertising banners from Pirelli and Marchal.
