Description
In the latest episode Matt talks to MALCOLM FOLLEY (Mail on Sunday) as he explores the history and stories linked to arguably the most famous and certainly the most glamorous race in motorsport's calendar - the Monaco Grand Prix. In MONACO he looks at what makes this race stand out. Why, when you get the same number of points for winning here as you would at Silverstone or Magny Cours, does it mean so much more to drivers to win the Monaco GP than any other? Is it the toughest track? Is it the tunnel that thrusts you from darkness to daylight in the blink of an eye? Or is it that it's the only race where spectators are watching, literally, from the decks of their yachts? Hit subscribe for more great titles in the build-up to the summer.
