The first Grand Prix of Monaco was won by William Grover-Williams,Bugatti 35 B car in 3h56’11’ with an average speed of 80.194 km/h. Then followed by others great names like Schumacher, Senna (won it 6 times), Prost, Fangio, Graham Hill. On April 19th, 1932, Captain Sir Malcom Campbell, the man who just had broken the world speed record with 408.621 km per hour, opened the 2nd Grand Prix of Monaco in a superb Torpedo Rolls Royce.
