		This was true of the Le Mans circuit of the 1906 Grand Prix, as well as the Targa Florio (run on 93 miles of Sicilian roads), the German Kaiserpreis circuit (75 miles long), and the French circuit at Dieppe (a mere 48 miles), used for the 1907 Grand Prix.
		The 1933 Monaco Grand Prix was the first time in the history of the sport that the grid was deciding by timed qualifying rather than the luck of a draw.
		The Grand Prix of Argentina was noteworthy as Moss, driving a Cooper, used one less pitstop and had to conserve his tires in the later stages of the race, just crossing the line with the canvas showing.

	Grand Prix Journal VI
		Grand Prix racing often only took place on the television screen, except for the German round of the championship, when some guys had crashed fatally.
		Surely, the image of Grand Prix driving as a profession was a negative one in a Germany of the 68 generation, who often were able to remember the war or the post-war era.
		The Grand Prix driver not as a fair sportsman, but as the Aryan superman, instead of fighting for wins with his competitor, having the order to consider him as a brutal enemy to bring complete, if possible, fatal defeat to - that was the horrible example the Nazis had created.

		The strangest and most wondrous two weeks in the life of David Park ended Sunday when he won the Compaq European Grand Prix in only the second appearance of his life in a full European Tour event.
		The young Welshman's performance in beating 27-year-old South African-born Engishman David Carter and Retief Goosen by a single shot with a final round of 72 and total of 14-under-par 274, at such an early stage of his regular tour career would be remarkable enough.
		The pair, the last group on the course, was never allowed to forget the presence of Goosen, the in-form South African who posted a clubhouse-leading 13-under-par when they were still three holes from the end.

		The film's thesis: despite the booming post-war economy, Italians' attitudes toward sex are either rigidly Medieval (the poor and the South) or muddled and self-censoring (the bourgeoisie and the North).
		There is good reason, therefore, for the director of Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown to be worried about the outcome of this case, which could have grave consequences for his future as a film director and his continued residence in the States.

	1977 Monaco Grand Prix
		Many of the professionals within the Formula One "circus" will explain at great length why the Monaco Grand Prix is an anomaly in "...the modern world of Formula One racing..." but few will define what they mean by "modern world".
		I would not go as far as one media source wrote in their pre-race blurb, that "Monaco is THE race to win", unless you are a social climber and value the opportunity of shaking hands with a real, live Prince and Princess on the winners rostrum.
		Like the Le Mans 24-hour race and Indianapolis, the Monaco Grand Prix has become something of an institution, even if it does not fit into the driver/businessman's idea of how Formula One should be moulded to suit his profession.
