Look, a lot of this is in French so if you are not un bon vivant don't read any further.
Next month is going to be huge. You will be getting direct reports from the Shit Box Rally, which starts in Mackay (the Monte Carlo of northern Australia minus the food, wine, rich tax avoiders, multi-million-dollar yachts and cars) through the medium of this newspaper, our online multimedia platforms and telexes. And also from the other Monte Carlo on the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, the RM Sotheby's auction of the same name and the Grand Prix de Monaco de Formule 1.
Now, normally you would have to pay $3670 for two days on a private yacht tied up near the track to watch the 10th running of the greatest line-up of old race cars since last year's Historic Winton, but we're throwing in that and a "blend of glitz, glamour and high-octane motorsport" at Le Sporting Monte-Carlo.
There's legendary war hero Pierre Louis-Dreyfus's 1951 Ferrari 340 America Barchetta. Pete entered his Fezza in the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hours with Bugatti star Louis Chiron as his co-driver. Max will be looking for $14 million for this one.
The Grand Prix de Monaco de Formule 1 is a great event that has been going since 1929. Mark Webber won twice here. Jack Brabham did once and Ayrton Senna did six times.
