Monaco Historic GP Grandstand?

[Freddie328]

I think we'd like to do Casino Square for the Sunday, but does anyone have any recommendations for somewhere else for the Saturday?

Thank you

I've only been to the Historique once - back in 2008 - but thoroughly enjoyed it. Just a great event.

Back then it was only a two day meeting so we took Casino Square for Saturday and Tribune K at Tabac on the Sunday. The great thing with K is that you look behind you and can see the cars heading along the pit straight behind you, then heading up to Massenet to your left and appearing out of the tunnel and all the way along into the Swimming Pool.

It's not like the Revival in the sense that you'll see lots of overtaking, but the noise and visual spectacle is enough to make it a very special experience.

Depends what you want - but try the small stand opposite the pit entrance / Rascasse - you can walk also back into the town square for lunch.

Thank you. One other question, how restricted are you on getting about from one area to another ie if you wanted to go & grab a bite to eat or a drink or just generally have a wander?

It's not a very easy circuit to get around - the infrastructure is temporary so don't expect it to be akin to Oulton Park! It's simple enough to leave the 'stands to get an ice cream or use the toilet but getting from one corner to the next isn't the matter of a moment. The whole principality is really exciting all weekend though with amazing cars everywhere. We completely adored it - just a great weekend.

To give you a flavour.

Open paddock on the harbour front Friday afternoon:

The stands A1 and K1 are normally the first ones to sell out, they are easily accessible and considered the best.They are good for photo too.
Be aware Casino Square is a long way from the paddock area.
Wherever you chose to go make sure you have a view of the giant TV screens.
Bear in mind the access rules change by the day and sometimes by the individual on duty!
Enjoy, its a super weekend.

Very helpful - thanks all!

Next question - I notice K goes from 1 to 8, which is the best block to sit in?

As above, K1 is the most popular.
