Monaco's Here!

Let's face it. This Sunday will be a race lover's dream day. Every year we get a trifecta; Monaco in the morning, the Indy 500 in the afternoon, and the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 in the evening.

Monaco has always been where the greats shined. Ayrton Senna won here 6 times, with Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher winning 5 times apiece.

This is the greatest test on the F1 calendar, as the drivers negotiate the narrow streets in 750 bhp machines. The roads are slick, and this year there may be rain. With no traction control, rain at Monaoco could result in a wild race result. Remember Olivier Panis winning for Ligier in 1996?

I have a rule for NASCAR races. I never watch until the final 50 laps. Nothing much happens until then, and I can avoid Darrel Waltrip for as long as possible. Indy; watch the start and the last 100 laps. All the action is in the last part of the race.
