Name: Monaco Grand Prix Watch Party
Start: 2026-06-07T06:30:00-06:00
Location: The Celtic on Market & Off Track Betting.

It's time once again for the greatest motorsports weekend of the year! For Formula 1 fans, that means the Monaco Grand Prix.
Join us bright and early at the Celtic on Market this Sunday morning for the spectacle that is Monaco. The pre-race show starts at 6:30 a.m. with lights out at 7:00 a.m. There will be food and (adult) beverages starting at 7:00 a.m. (you can get non-alcoholic beverages sooner).
Because of the group size and staffing needs, we request that everyone adhere to the "two drink minimum." That being said, ordering food counts, so even if you're not a drinker, it shouldn't be hard to find something. Basically, just get anything and the Celtic will continue to welcome us with open arms.
New and long-time fans of every driver/team are welcome. If it's your first time and/or you'll be alone, send a private message and we'll set aside a spot for you in the organizers' area so you can make some new friends (space permitting).
## Monaco
### When was the track built?
In 1215, sort of – that’s when Monaco was first established as a colony of Genoa.
### When was its first Grand Prix?
It was 1929 when racing engines first reverberated around the Principality, after cigarette manufacturer Antony Noghes decided to organise a race with his pals from the Automobile Club de Monaco. The race was part of the calendar in the first year of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, and hasn’t been off it since 1955.
### What’s the circuit like?
Incredibly narrow and totally iconic. Nelson Piquet memorably described driving around Monaco as “like riding a bicycle around your living room”… which is fair. Despite that, it’s a challenge that nearly all drivers love, forcing them to put their skills on the line and rewarding millimetric accuracy. Overtaking on the tight streets is harder, however, with the 2003 Grand Prix witnessing a grand total of zero passing moves!
