The streets themselves become Monaco Grand Prix's major attraction, thrilling spectators with an up-close view of screaming engines as racers take the twisting 78-lap circuit for all it's worth.

The first Monaco Grand Prix was held on April 14, 1929. Since then, average race speeds have risen from 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour to almost 90 (142 kilometers) per hour.

Today, race fans attending the Monaco Grand Prix can still expect to rub shoulders with politicians, the rich and famous, and other celebrities who gather to see and be seen at one of the world's most glamorous and prestigious races.

• The Monaco circuit is the shortest Grand Prix track on the calendar. It's also the most tight and twisty which means drivers must change gear an extraordinary 54 times per lap, or more than 4,200 changes over the course of the race. Just 42 percent of the lap is spent at full throttle.

• What's it take to turn the streets of Monaco into a race circuit? It includes 33 kilometres (20.5 miles) of safety rails, 20,000 square meters of wire catch fencing, 3,600 tires for street barriers, and 1,000 tons of grandstand seating for spectators.

• The legendary Ayrton Senna leads the pack with most wins at Monaco, followed by Michael Schumacher and Graham Hill both with five. Other record holders include Alain Prost with four, together with Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart with three wins.

• The Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans are considered the Triple Crown of racing. Only British racing legend Graham Hill has won all three.

• Late to Monaco? Although hotels are booked solid in advance of the Monaco Grand Prix, last minute reservations can still be had for a king's ransom. Last minute hotel rooms and race tickets for the entire weekend will only set you back about US$10,000.
