The Monaco Grand Prix, raced around the circuitous streets of Monte Carlo as opposed to on a purpose-built racing track, has long been one of the more absorbing races on the grand prix circuit.
It has always lent itself to a demonstration of driver skill, with raw speed taken out of the equation, and often seems to be dominated by one driver in a given era.
His record fifth victory at Monaco, reported here in The Times on May 19, 1969, also proved to be Hill’s last Formula One victory—an accident in the American Grand Prix later in the year saw him break both legs, effectively ending his racing career.

The Dodge Monaco was a full-size automobile built and sold by the Dodge division of the Chrysler Corporation between 1965 to 1978 and 1990 to 1992.
The Dodge Monaco was originally intended to compete with Pontiac's Grand Prix model in what came to be known as the personal luxury market.
The Monaco name was briefly revived for a rebadged version of the Premier, differing only in a crosshair grille, different taillights and badging, as Dodge's top-of-the-line model as a replacement for the rear-wheel drive Diplomat.

While Grand Prix Legends provided the most realistic (and hence, difficult) simulation of automotive physics in a PC game at its launch, the reputation of "difficult to drive" was exacerbated by a number of decisions made both for the demo and the launch of version 1.0.
Grand Prix cars from 1967 typically ran 5 to 6 inches of ground clearance, unlike the later ground effect cars that were designed to have the chassis as close to the ground as possible.
This is because, the first time they play Grand Prix Legends, EVERYBODY spins and crashes." Rumor among simulator racing enthusiasts was that when Jackie Stewart had an opportunity to drive the simulator in the late stages of development, he claimed that it was harder to drive than the actual 1967 Formula One cars.

The Canadian Grand Prix marks the halfway point of the 2003 FIA Formula One World Championship, and the West McLaren Mercedes team travels to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal looking to consolidate its position at the top of the Constructors` table, with 73 points, a lead the team reclaimed at the Monaco Grand Prix.
As with Monaco, the Canadian Grand Prix is an event I particularly enjoy, it is probably one of the most popular races on the calendar.
As a consequence the Canadian Grand Prix often has high rates of attrition as the layout is tough on the cars and can make it difficult to build up a rhythm.

The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One race held annually, and since 1929, in the Principality of Monaco considered to be one of the most important and prestigious races around the world alongside the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
As a street race held on the Circuit de Monaco, which consists of the actual city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, the race has many elevation shifts, tight corners, and a narrow course that make it perhaps the most demanding and the most dangerous track still in use in Formula One racing.
In many ways, the Monaco course is an anachronism unsuitable for the race category because the narrow streets make it near-impossible to overtake on the track.
