How long is the Circuit de Monaco for the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix?

The Monaco Grand Prix is a race that it takes skill and a championship effort to win. It is one of the toughest races in the world to win and to many, it is the most prestigious race in the world because of all the challenges.

Like many other Formula 1 races, the Circuit de Monaco is a street course. While it’s a lot shorter than most races on the circuit, the track has many turns and is just a little bit over two miles. It is exactly 2.074 miles and the course contains 19 turns.

With 19 turns at high speeds, passing is extremely difficult and winning the race is one of the toughest challenges for any driver that tries to bring home the win. There’s a difference between racing on an oval like the other two races that will be held on Sunday, as compared to a road course with all sorts of obstacles.

There are 78 laps total in the race and the winner will have dominated 161.734 miles. Who will be the one to win the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix?
