5 Key Races That All Motorsport Fans Should Consider Going To See

4. Monaco Grand Prix (Monaco)

monaco 2008 The Monaco Grand Prix is always considered a favourite on the Formula 1 calender for teams, drivers and of course for fans too. This race as always been in use since 1929, was a part of the very first F1 championship in 1950 and along with the Le Mans 24 Hour race, is considered to be one of the most important and prestigious motor races in the world. Before the grand prix, fans always tend to have a look at a few of the expensive cars that are on display at the Casino by where "Casino" corner is on the track. There are also no shortages of cafes and restaurants, especially from "Massenet" corner to "Mirabeau" corner, and also there's a massive swimming pool by the "Piscine" chicanes for when the weather gets really hot and for anyone who fancies a cold dip. There's not that many grandstands for the fans to see much of the action on this circuit but there are a few good spots to see the action - the apartments above Sainte Devote" corner (the scene of many first corner crashes in the past), the cafes and restaurants between "Massenet", "Casino" and "Mirabeau" corners, the "Nouvelle Chicane" (where Kimi Raikkonen took out Adrian Sutil in 2008), one of a few grandstands at "Tabac" corner (where Giancarlo Fisichella flipped his car over in 2004), and there are a few more grandstands just opposite where the pitlane is, so you can see all the pitstop action from there. This is another race that never fails to entertain, whatever the weather, come rain or shine!
