Monte Carlo, in the kingdom of Monaco, is one of the oldest tracks on the Formula One-circuit. In 1929, the first Grand Prix of Monaco automobile race was held, won by Charles Grover (aka "Williams") driving a Bugatti painted in what would become the famous British racing green color.

A street race, it has many elevation shifts, tight corners, and a narrow course that makes it perhaps the most demanding and probably the most dangerous track still in use in F1 racing.

Over the years, many concerns over the safety of this course have been made, but so far, tradition has held sway.
