Automobile Club of Monaco (ACM) organises three Grand Prix events in the space of one month in 2024. From the high-speed thrills of electric cars at the Monaco E-Prix to the timeless elegance of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, culminating in the legendary Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Principality promises an unparalleled celebration of motorsport. 

Monaco E-Prix: Kicking off the Grand Prix season, the 7th Monaco E-Prix, took place on 27 April 2024 and was created to make sustainable development part of motor racing, as Monaco stands at the forefront of the future of racing. The vehicles have electric engines, reducing motorsports' environmental impact and helping to promote low-carbon vehicles. The race's circuit, identical to Formula 1 covering a total of 3.337 kilometres, combines speed (up to 250KW) and sustainability.  The victory of New Zealander Mitch Evans was the fruit of teamwork by Jaguar TCS Racing. “Everyone did a remarkable job. To be honest, I'd been waiting for this for so long, long before I started racing in Formula E. It was a great team effort with Nick [Cassidy],” said Mitch Evans after the race, before adding that he was dedicating his Monaco win to Sir Colin Giltrap, a New Zealand automotive industrialist who died on 17 April 2024. New Zealand became the first nation to win the race five times in a row. As Monaco prepares to host the Monaco Historic Grand Prix and the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Monaco E-Prix will make its return to the Principality on Saturday 3 May 2025. 

Monaco Historic Grand Prix, 10-12 May 2024 : The 14th Monaco Historic Grand Prix will transport spectators back in time, celebrating motor racing history with tributes and anniversaries. Flashbacks from each decade since 1924 will spotlight significant cars and drivers. In 2024, notable mentions include the Bugatti 35's victories in the 1920s, Mercedes dominance in the 1930s, and Ayrton Senna's memorable 1984 race. Against the backdrop of Monaco's iconic landmarks, classic automobiles will roar through the streets, evoking the spirit of racing legends of the past. Over 200 classic cars (F1, F2 and other competitive single-seaters) from all four corners of the globe line up by age category, from pre-war to a more contemporary era (1980s). There are also former racing drivers on the track, in the grandstands and in the stands. This biannual event brings together everyone who loves motorsports, whether they are champions, collectors, keen amateurs or simply fans. 

Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco, 23-26 May 2024 The jewel in Monaco's motorsport crown, the 81st Monaco Grand Prix which takes place over 78 laps, is renowned as one of the most prestigious races in the world, it attracts top drivers and teams from across the globe. The race is one of the oldest in the world, having been founded in 1929, and an impressive logistical undertaking gets underway weeks before the event to set up the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco's track in the heart of the city. It winds through the streets of Port Hercule, Monte-Carlo and La Condamine, looked over by the Rock and the Prince's Palace. It is the shortest Formula 1 World Championship route, but also the most difficult. From the roar of the engines to the glitz and glamour of the paddock, Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a highlight of the motorsport calendar, promising excitement, and unforgettable moments.
