Monaco Classic Rides is offering a unique experience for visitors and locals: the chance to ride—either as driver or passenger—in a fully electric replica of a 1930s Formula 1 car. This provides a charming and unusual way to explore the Principality while enjoying the historical design of early racing cars.
The route follows the same streets as the world-famous Monaco Grand Prix, one of the oldest and most prestigious races in motor sport. Participants can pass landmarks such as the Casino de Monte-Carlo, the Hôtel de Paris, the exotic gardens, and the iconic Port Hercule, taking in the city-state’s unique architecture and Mediterranean views. The Monaco circuit is famed for its tight corners and elevation changes, offering a glimpse into the challenging conditions that have made it legendary in racing history.
Monaco Classic Rides caters to those interested in both history and scenic exploration. Departures begin from Avenue de Monte-Carlo near the Casino, with prices starting at €59. The electric replicas provide a quiet, eco-friendly alternative to traditional racing cars while preserving the classic design and feel of the original 1930s models.
For a broader perspective, the Monaco Grand Prix has been held annually since 1929, with its narrow streets and dramatic elevation changes making it one of the most technically demanding circuits in the world. Famous sections include the tight hairpin at Fairmont Hotel, the Casino Square, and the sweeping run along the harbour. Experiencing these roads in a replica car offers a sense of the race’s history without the speed or risk, blending culture, engineering, and local charm.
Whether you are interested in the heritage of motor racing or simply wish to see Monaco from a different vantage point, Monaco Classic Rides offers a relaxed and memorable way to enjoy the Principality.
