15th Monaco Historic Grand Prix 2026
On April 24-26, 2026, Monaco will host the 15th edition of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. A unique event where legendary racing cars return to the iconic streets of the Principality. Experience the passion, elegance, and performance that celebrate over a century of motorsport heritage.
Formula 1 Grand Prix cars with turbo engines will be able to take part in the 15th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique in April 24-26, 2026. Changes to FIA regulations will enable the Organizing and Selection Committee at Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) to reserve a specific class for them, as originally planned for 2022, when the Race G was introduced, for F1 single-seaters that raced at Monaco Grand Prix from 1981 to 1985.
The stars, however, and to the delight of those nostalgic for F1’s golden age, are likely to remain the 3-liter-engined single-seaters. Generally equipped with Ford Cosworth DFV V8s, their advent in 1966 fundamentally changed the image and reputation of F1. An expected field of 80 to 100 cars in Race D to G, all generally in a state of perfect preservation, capable of racing faster than fifty years ago on the streets of Monaco, in much better grip conditions and in complete safety.
Keen to preserve the identity of the Grand Prix, the organizers decided to keep the Race A1, reserved exclusively for pre-war cars, considering that the Bugatti cars (35, 37 and 51) and the Maserati are the DNA of the Monaco Grand Prix.
For the rest, the Race A2 (post-war, front-engines) and the Race C (sportscars) will continue unchanged, as will the five other F1 grids, which will present the evolution of Grand Prix racing over almost 40 years (from 1946 to 1985). Several tributes and anniversaries are already planned, in the authentic and majestic setting of the Principality’s circuit, and several fine pages of motor racing history will be turned, with sound, vibrations and smells included, during this 15th edition of Grand Prix Historique de Monaco
