At the start of the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was exceptionally run as a sports car race, a fleet of racers lines the sun-drenched street circuit. In the foreground, Stirling Moss is poised in his Jaguar C-Type (78), alongside Luigi Stagnoli in a Ferrari 225S (90). Behind them, the grid includes Robert Manzon’s Simca Gordini T15S (56) and Reg Parnell in an Aston Martin DB3 (72). Spectators crowd the barriers under the stone pine trees, absorbing the bustling atmosphere before the start of the two-day event.
