To attain full national status, Noghès proposed the creation of an automobile Grand Prix in the streets of Monte Carlo. The rally could not be considered as it mostly used the roads of other European countries. Their application was refused due to the lack of a major motorsport event held wholly within Monaco's boundaries. The ACM organised the Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo, and in 1928 applied to the Association Internationale des Automobiles Clubs Reconnus (AIACR), the international governing body of motorsport, to be upgraded from a regional French club to full national status. The principality's first Grand Prix was organised in 1929 by Antony Noghès, under the auspices of Prince Louis II, through the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM), of which he was president. Like many European races, the Monaco Grand Prix predates the current World Championship. William Grover-Williams at the 1929 Monaco Grand Prix Ayrton Senna won the race more times than any other driver, with six victories, winning five races consecutively between 19.

It was twice designated the European Grand Prix, in 19, when this title was an honorary designation given each year to one Grand Prix race in Europe.

The first Monaco Grand Prix took place on 14 April 1929, and the race eventually became part of the pre- Second World War European Championship and was included in the first World Championship of Drivers in 1950. It is the only Grand Prix that does not adhere to the FIA's mandated 305-kilometre (190-mile) minimum race distance for F1 races. In spite of the relatively low average speeds, the Monaco circuit is a dangerous place to race due to how narrow the track is and the race often involves the intervention of a safety car. The race is held on a narrow course laid out in the streets of Monaco, with many elevation changes and tight corners as well as the tunnel, making it one of the most demanding tracks in Formula One. The Formula One event is usually held on the last weekend of May and is known as one of the largest weekends in auto racing, as the Formula One race occurs on the same Sunday as the Indianapolis 500 ( Ind圜ar Series) and the Coca-Cola 600 ( NASCAR Cup Series). The circuit has been called 'an exceptional location of glamour and prestige'. Run since 1929, it is widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious automobile races in the world, and is one of the races-along with the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans-that form the Triple Crown of Motorsport. The Monaco Grand Prix ( French: Grand Prix de Monaco) is a Formula One motor racing event held annually on the Circuit de Monaco, in late May or early June.
