THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF MONACO postponed their biennial Monaco Historic Race meeting last year, but it was obvious they were determined to run the event this year - and they did.
Due to Covid restrictions in the UK, the normally full entry list was depleted somewhat because a large proportion of the entries for Monaco come from the UK. Even though one of the races on the weekend is for sports cars - the reason being that in 1952 the official Monaco Grand Prix was not for grand prix cars but sports cars – there is usually a good Jaguar entry. This year though there were just four Jaguar engined cars, but all of them were interesting ones.

SERIOUS UP-DATES MAKE IT BETTER - AND IT'S DIESEL F-pace next level
THE F-PACE IS JAGUAR'S BEST SELLING MODEL AND continues to improve in all ways. The 2021 upgrades are sensational to the point where it now feels close to an XJ from the driver or passenger seats. It is that luxurious. It is multi-purpose too, so aside from family duties, it will handle the dirty stuff like a dedicated SUV and, encouragingly, Jaguar really has got its head around what the F-PACE was capable of achieving from its inception.
