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, transformed that year into a sports car race, mechanics and crew tend to parked vehicles. In the foreground is Joaquín Palacio’s dark Pegaso Z-102 coupe, bearing the number 54. On the track, an open-top barchetta speeds along the curving road, lined by an ornate balustrade and watched by officials and spectators. The city’s distinctive architecture, with signs for a "RESTAURANT" and "HOTEL-RIVAGE," cascades down the hillside in the background.
