The roar of vintage engines is set to return to the iconic streets of the Principality. From April 24 to 26, 2026, the 15th edition of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique will transform the city into a living museum of speed, glamour, and motorsport heritage.

A Masterpiece in Motion: Celebrating Niki Lauda

This year, the official poster pays a vibrant tribute to one of Formula 1’s most enduring icons: Niki Lauda. In honour of the 50th anniversary of his back-to-back victories in 1975 and 1976, the Automobile Club de Monaco has reimagined the original 1976 artwork.

The poster features the legendary Ferrari 312T, set against the timeless backdrop of Monaco—a visual bridge between the nostalgia of the “Golden Era” and the modern elegance of the Principality.

What to Expect on the Track

The 2026 program is packed with milestones and mechanical marvels. Key highlights include:

  • Series D – The Niki Lauda Tribute: A dedicated showcase of 3-liter single-seaters (1973–1976). Expect to see (and hear) the iconic Ford-Cosworth DFV engines alongside legendary power units that defined a decade.
  • The Turbo Revolution: Following updated FIA regulations, turbocharged cars will join the action this year, adding a new layer of technical history to the grid.
  • A Historic Grid: Between Races D and G, we anticipate an impressive lineup of 80 to 100 pristine vintage cars.
  • Pre-War Legends: Race A1 remains a fan favourite, reserved exclusively for the pre-war titans like Bugatti and Maserati.

2026: A Year of Motorsport Milestones

Beyond the Lauda tribute, 2026 marks several significant anniversaries in the racing world:

  • The Maserati Centenary.
  • The return of the storied Gordini  name to the track.
  • The 60th  anniversary of McLaren’s historic F1 debut.

The Monaco Historic Grand Prix is more than a race; it is an immersive, family-friendly experience. Your grandstand tickets offer a unique advantage: full paddock access. This allows you to walk among these marvels of engineering and witness the meticulous care that keeps these legends racing ready.

Get ready for a weekend of history, speed, and pure emotion. Monaco awaits!
