Monte Carlo - Port Hercule

Monte Carlo - Port Hercule

.
This photo was taken during my European vacation in 1998. I tried to capture the Monte Carlo Harbour, including sections of the F1 race track. The race has been a regular fixture of the F1 World Championship since 1955, but in that time the circuit has changed remarkably little.
I walked around the race track with a mate, and could not believe how tight the road is. The circuit leaves no margin for error, so overtaking is next to impossible.
The Monaco circuit includes the Lowes hairpin, the slowest corner in Formula One, and followed by the tunnel, one of the few flat-out sections of the track.

The F1 teams will be racing here from 22 to 24 May.

This photograph was scanned from a colour negative (big thank you to my brother for letting use his scanner). It was taken using a Nikon F-301 and a 24-120 mm Nikon Zoom Lens
