Monaco Grand Prix, May 28-29, 2011 (Provisional)
The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the world's greatest sporting experiences. The Principality offers glamour, colour and atmosphere while the circuit offers the spectator the chance to get as close to a racing F1 car as is humanly possible.

It is a unique experience and the most popular of all the F1 venues. The mix of spectators is electric - European royalty, international film stars, heads of industry, leading sponsors all mixing with avid, knowledgeable fans. Monaco is perhaps the finest street circuit in the world. It is a tight, twisting affair in and around the famous streets of Monte Carlo. The proximity of the barriers makes it feel like the fastest track in the business; the noise and vibration from the circuit is unbelievable.

 

 

We have been looking after corporate clients, VIP guests and small groups for many years and our attention to detail is second to none. Monte Carlo offers a spectacular array of choice. We know Monaco superbly well and are therefore able to advise on a seemingly bewildering array of possibilities to provide you with a memorable weekend. Please call us for a bespoke quote.
