This was of interest the Race G of the 2022 edition is open to Turbo F1 cars covering 81-85 along with them being allowed to run with skirts. What I find interesting is what will appear from under the covers and runs properly!

I feel very sad that the 500cc F.3s, Formula Junior and later Formula 3 classes are now forgotten, discarded and probably will never return.

Front engined F. Juniors were my favourites.

Somehow, I don't see myself going again.

Well, I have never been at all. We booked for 2020, and Covid happened ; then this year , and Covid was still happening and there were no spectators  - apart from , it appeared, the entire extended family of everybody who lived in Monaco and all their many friends . So next year we will be going . Unprecedentedly , the idea of going in the first place was my wife's , whose love of motorsport matches my passion for Association Football and the Olympics.

There's a vintage hillclimb at Mt Equinox, VT this weekend. This F3 car was there 2 years ago.

 

 

There are usually F3 cars at the vintage races at Lime Rock, CT the first weekend of September.

A few turbo cars ran in either Historic Formula One or BOSS Formula. Don Wood and Source Racing bought the Beatrice Lola team in almost it's entirety and ran in Historic Formula One while Colin Stone ran a RAM 03, Matthew Mortlock a Beatrice Lola and Bernie Harris a Toleman in BOSS Formula. However that was over twenty years ago so what condition they are in today is anyone's guess. And would you really want to drive one around Monaco ?

I have a pair of weekend tickets for the simply epic weekend of Historic racing with cars (mainly F1) from the 50s through to the 80s. The weekend can be done very reasonably with cheap flights to Nice and the beautifal train journey along the coast to Monaco.
Saturday tickets are for the Casino Square stand row D (very near the front) the top drivers/cars are awesome through here during qualifying.
Sunday tickets are for the Tabac K1 stand on the far left which as well as overlooking the Harbour will give a view of Ste Devote (1st corner) and up the hill.
 
Having attended this event before these are the best seats to enjoy this event in my experience.
 
The tickets cost £215 sterling.

 

I'm looking for £150.

 

Thank you.

Not been since 2012 / 2014, but all being well will be there this May.

 

Just want to check if there are any places where you can watch without buying a tribune ticket ?

 

Thanks

In modern times I have yet to see a turbo F1 car from that era which was even close to the speed and spectacle it was in period.

Max Wakefield and Matthew Mortlock used a Beatrice Lola in Boss which they managed to peddle pretty rapidly.

Don Wood of Source Racing raced a Beatrice Lola in the British Historic Formula One series in the late eighties. Mortlock's Beatrice Lola passed on to Bernie Harris who also raced it in the BOSS series along with Colin Stone in his RAM 03. In more recent years, at least two turbocharged Formula One cars have competed in Australian Historic racing, a Ferrari 156/85 and an ex Alan Jones Beatrice Lola (as raced by Mortlock/Harris ?).
