Monaco pencils in F1, Formula E and Historic GP on 2021 agenda!

Monaco will enjoy a frantic five weeks of racing on its streets next year, with F1, Historic F1 and Formula E to stage events in the principality next year.

The triple barrage of motorsport entertainment which will start on April 23 has come about as a result of the cancellation of this year’s festivities due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Monaco’s Historic Grand Prix and its Formula E event usually alternate as biennial events, but this year’s disruption will string together three action-packed weekends of racing, including the 2021 round of the F1 world championship.

The Historic Grand Prix will kick off the hectic spring schedule on April 23, while Monaco’s 4th E-Prix will take place on May 8, with the 78th Monaco GP being run two later on May 23.

“To organize three races in the space of one month will be a premiere for us all at ACM,” explains Christian Tornatore, the General Commissioner of the Automobile Club de Monaco.

“The logistical side promises to be complex, but not impossible to manage! Because of the new constraints, we shall need to start setting up the track earlier than usual, at the end of February, instead of March 15.

“We will then integrate the technical aspects, on and around the track, required by every category that will be involved. In order to achieve this, we will count on the experience and flexibility of all the persons involved, in order to achieve our objectives.”

The ACM also said that its Historic Grand Prix will resume in 2022 its tradition of taking place during even years, with the event already earmarked for May 13-15 2022.
