Summary

A good reason to look back at past events and the racing drivers who made the track famous.

This article contains the following chapters

Love for the traditional circuit
The danger of kerbs and track boundaries
Full concentration essential right to the end
Double pack again in 2014
Faster and faster

Preview (beginning of the article)

From May 9 to 11, 2014, the time has finally come again. In the Principality of Monaco, where wealth and glamor come together like nowhere else in the world, the engines will be roaring again. On the second weekend in May, it's not the turn of the whispering V6 turbos, but the historic engines, from the 4-cylinder to the supercharged in-line 6-cylinder and the V-12. Yes, it's not the weekend of the F1 GP, but that of the GP Monaco Historique. Jost Wildbolz is a man who competed in the first GP Monaco Historique in 1997 with his ERA. The fastest man on the Klausen in modern times (26:46.68 min) thinks Monaco is absolutely fantastic. The race lives from its long history.
