Every two years, the Principality of Monaco hosts an Historic Grand Prix, featuring race cars from yesteryear. For some of us, these early race cars are more interesting than modern race cars with all their aerodynamic doodads and geegaws. And so tomorrow, Wednesday, May 9, I am off to see this spectacle for myself.
I am flying to Geneva where I am meeting up with Alex Corn who lives in the beautiful town of Annecy France, just across the border with Switzerland. On Friday, we are driving to Monaco, but this will be no ordinary road trip on the SuperSlab. Oh, no! We are driving down and back through the Alps, where the roads bend and sweep through mountain passes and Alpine meadows for mile after sinuous mile.
Once in Monaco, we will be gawking like the rank tourists we are. We are staying in Nice, where the hotel rooms are UNDER $1000/night. Word has it that Nice is a pretty nice place to visit in its own right.
Copious pictures will be taken. Gigabytes of video uploaded. And when I return, all of it will be culled through, edited and assembled into a complete report on the trip.I'm excited. This should be one for the ages!
