Steeped in history, the one every red-blooded racing driver wants to win however much they complain about it being outmoded and dangerous.Behind the glamour and glitz of Monaco lies the ultimate skill test for an F1 driver. Boats and yachts bob gently in the water as the drivers navigate their way round the short and twisty track.Every driver's dream is to win the Monaco Grand Prix. The circuit contains the slowest (46 kmph) and one of the fastest corners (260 kmph) and is lined with crash barriers, leaving the drivers no space to overtake.However, the coup de grace is the famous tunnel where the light segues between darkness and sunlight within seconds, all at one of the fastest points in the race.
