Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Every two years the preparations for the Formula 1 race on the streets of Monaco start a little earlier to get the track ready in time for the Historic Grand Prix. The bi-annual celebration of single seater racing gives enthusiasts the chance to shine on the legendary circuit. This weekend the Historic Grand Prix was held for the sixth time, welcoming around 200 fabulous classic racing cars to the principality. Many of the participants give it their absolute best, resulting in exciting races. Among the highlights were the presence of Sir Stirling Moss, the race for 1975 - 1978 Formula 1 cars and the funky Formula Juniors, which celebrated the class' Golden Jubilee.
On Saturday evening Europe's major auctioneer Bonhams held an auction, netting over 8 million euro. Top seller was a Bugatti Type 55 Super Sport with a Le Mans history that changed hands for over 2 million euro.
Our photographers were present in Monaco and captured all races and the Bonhams auction. Their findings can be found in our in-depth report and a spectacular 200-shot slideshow.
An another note, Ferrari today unveiled the first details of a brand new model. Simply dubbed the California, it follows in the footsteps of the great open Ferraris of the 1950s and 1960s. The power comes from a direct injection V8 and is transferred to the rear wheels through a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox.

My camera refused to save those, I guess I am not much of a professional.
