Our story
Ninety years of panache.
In 1934, the first cars set off along the quays of Montreux. The stage was set: here, racing has never ceased to be as much a matter of elegance as of speed. Over the decades, the Grand Prix became the gathering where exceptional engineering meets the gentleness of the Riviera.
« Here, racing has never ceased to be an affair of elegance. »
Interrupted, revived, reinvented — the event crosses the century without losing any of its soul. Today it brings together collectors, drivers and enthusiasts from around the world around a unique rolling heritage.
