Starting Grid Notes
  • The grid order is shown in pairs representing rows on the grid – thus, the back row (P11 and P12) is shared by France’s Aristide La Fontaine and Italy’s notorious racer, Eusebius "Sebi" Orsi. Both have a lot of ground to make up on the course if they are to win….
  • Of note, historically, in 1934, the starting grid order was determined by drawing straws – not by qualifications runs. The pre-race event will be resolved soon.
The Starting Grid Order is announced by the Race Committee just before the party at the Monegasque Embassy and posted outside for all to see. You may also thereby start planning for the upcoming race.
