What you're looking at

The model covers just under one square kilometre of Monaco: the harbour at Port Hercule, Monte Carlo up on the hill, and the streets between them that become a race track for one weekend a year. The terrain is real — you can see the climb from Sainte Dévote up to Casino Square and the drop back down to the sea. The buildings are placed from open map data, and the circuit itself is traced from GPS, so the hairpin, the tunnel and the swimming-pool section are exactly where they are on the ground.

The track is a separate red print that sits in a channel cut through the terrain, and it disappears under the buildings for the tunnel section, just like the real thing.

A lap, corner by corner

  1. Sainte Dévote — the tight right-hander at the end of the start straight, named after the chapel on the outside of the corner.
  2. Beau Rivage — the climb. Full throttle uphill, the road kinking left as it rises towards the casino.
  3. Massenet — a long left over the crest, blind on entry.
  4. Casino — right-hander past the Casino de Monte-Carlo, the highest point of the lap.
  5. Mirabeau Haute — downhill right, heavy braking on a slope.
  6. Fairmont Hairpin — the slowest corner in Formula 1, wrapped around the hotel's front drive.
  7. Mirabeau Bas — the right-hander immediately after the hairpin.
  8. Portier — right onto the seafront and into the tunnel.
  9. Tunnel — a flat-out right-hand curve in the dark under the Fairmont, the fastest part of the lap.
  10. Nouvelle Chicane (10 & 11) — hard on the brakes out of the tunnel into a left-right flick beside the harbour. The classic overtaking spot.
  11. Tabac — quick left along the quayside, named after the tobacconist that once stood there.
  12. Louis Chiron (13 & 14) — the first part of the swimming-pool complex, a fast left-right.
  13. Piscine (15 & 16) — the second, slower part, right-left around the pool.
  14. La Rascasse (17 & 18) — the tight right at the restaurant that gives it its name.
  15. Anthony Noghès — the final right-hander, named for the man who founded the race, back onto the pit straight.

How it's made

Each piece is printed to order on a Bambu Lab printer in the UK. The body takes around four hours; the track is printed separately in red and fitted into the model by hand, then the tunnel roof goes on and the whole thing is mounted and framed. Small differences between pieces are part of it — no two prints are identical.
