Above the Circuit: Monte Carlo Race Club’s Unforgettable Grand Prix Weekend

The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix weekend once again transformed the Principality into the centre of the sporting and social world, and among the most sought-after destinations was the Monte Carlo Race Club in collaboration with BND Events. Across its signature venues - the Rose de France Rooftop and the Panorama 13th and 14th Floor Terraces - guests enjoyed an exceptional blend of racing, hospitality, entertainment and networking in the heart of Monaco.

The weekend itself made Formula 1 history as Italian sensation Andrea Kimi Antonelli became the youngest winner ever of the Monaco Grand Prix, adding another memorable chapter to the legendary race. It was a weekend that celebrated excellence in all its forms, from remarkable sporting achievement on the track to world-class hospitality above it.

At the Rose de France Rooftop, guests were immersed in a vibrant atmosphere overlooking Monaco’s harbour and skyline. Premium catering, champagne service, live DJ performances and carefully curated experiences created a lively yet elegant setting throughout the race weekend. Visitors praised the attentive service and the quality of the programme, which effortlessly combined the excitement of Formula 1 with entertainment and social interaction.


One of the standout moments was the exclusive screening of the Gipsy Kings Documentary directed by Joel Van Der Molen, followed by an intimate acoustic performance by Tonino Baliardo of the Gipsy Kings. The event was organised by BND Events and Monte Carlo Race Club in partnership with Liora Global and BGI, bringing a unique cultural dimension to an already extraordinary weekend.

The rooftop experience was further enhanced through collaborations with Wholy, Vandercom, Or Noir Caviar, TVA The Mora Agency, Bambolea and NuCalm. Saturday’s international student gathering, organised with Twenty-Eight Degrees, welcomed a dynamic global audience and was supported by Le Sedre, Maison d’Azur, Time Boutique, Heaven Sake, Farmec, Tico, Selda Jewellery, Camilla Ghione and Life Organisation.


Meanwhile, the Panorama 13th and 14th Floor Terraces offered spectacular views over key sections of the circuit, including Sainte Dévote and Monaco Harbour. Guests enjoyed uninterrupted race viewing alongside gourmet cuisine, premium beverages, live music performances and DJ sets in an elegant setting designed for both networking and leisure. A special highlight of the Saturday programme was an exclusive wine tasting experience presented by Travaglini Gattinara, introducing guests to the renowned wines of Piedmont.

The Panorama experience was supported by Antica Acetaia Dodi, Brisval, InKonserva, Vini Casale Lucino, Cards Hub and eBay Live.

With exceptional views, impeccable service and a carefully curated programme, Monte Carlo Race Club once again confirmed its position as one of the most exclusive hospitality destinations during Monaco’s most celebrated weekend.
