The Automobile Club of Monaco Releases Le Film - Rallye Monte-Carlo 2022
The Monte-Carlo Rally is arguably the most unpredictable race of the entire WRC season, with the paved streets of southern France made treacherous by the harsh winter weather. The Automobile Club of Monaco has released this incredible film, keep watching - itβs awesome action!
Star drive
βWhen SΓ©bastien Loebβs name cropped up on the entry list in M-Sport Fordβs Puma Rally1 car, we knew we were going to witness something special. But not this special.
There was something magical about watching the semi-retired 47-year-old Frenchman jump in a brand-new car after two weeks at the Dakar and prove that heβs still got it.
M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson may have been the happiest man in Monaco on Sunday afternoon, but Loebβs stellar performance etched a smile on the faces of rally fans worldwide.β

Custom Catamaran GIZMO Built for the 34th Americaβs Cup in San Francisco Sold in Bidding Frenzy, Reflecting Record-Breaking Yacht Sales
Yachting enthusiasts entered a bidding war in a rare opportunity to purchase a custom catamaran built for the 34th Americaβs Cup in San Francisco, reflecting todayβs fast-moving, record-breaking yachting market.
M/Y GIZMO is an exquisite 45-metre boat and is just one of six limited-edition designs. Built in 2012 with comfort and adventure in mind, M/Y GIZMO is designed for entertaining, boasting a large aft deck and a light-filled interior salon featuring panoramic 360-degree views of the water and a modern configuration. Exquisitely maintained, catamaran GIZMO was originally purchased by an experienced yachtsman as a tender for his racing yacht.
Catamaran GIZMO was sold above the asking price β a rarity in the yacht market - in a unique closing by a Worth Avenue Yachts Seattle yacht broker Diego Gomez.
Since the start of the pandemic, yacht sales have soared as an increasing number of wealthy individuals have sought the safe and private environment that yachts offer.
According to BOAT Pro data, the second half of 2020 was the best on record for brokerage sales since 2009, with the final three months of 2020 seeing more boats sold than any other quarter on record.
Gomez noted that at the start of the pandemic, Seattle yacht sales were driven predominantly by either small day boats or larger powerboats that could accommodate family groups while still allowing them to maintain social distance. However, he notes that catamaran GIZMO found its niche market as life started to return to a new normal and people began to gather once again.
βAs the pandemic wore on, and things began to open, vaccines arrived, and people started travelling and getting together more, the desire to be together, entertain, and socialize became the preference, and that is where catamaran GIZMO shines,β Gomez explained.
Such was the demand for catamaran GIZMO that Gomez had to handle multiple offers at once, with four offers escalating throughout the negotiation phase, with a further offer coming in at the contract stage. With a combination of both in-house offers and co-op buyers, it was vital that Gomez handled all the offers to the highest ethical standards.
βThe hardest moment, however, was when the final two buyers both expressed that they had to have the boat,β Gomez stated. βIβve never had two buyers who were perfect for a boat at the same time, and truthfully only one boat like it to sell them. To finally find the right buyer for such a unique boat that is not designed for the mass market was very rewarding.β
A SELLERβS MARKET
Such is the demand for luxury yachts that the yachting market is currently in favour of the seller.
According to luxury yacht brokerages, yachts are going into the contract stage within days of being listed, with some being sold before they are even formally listed. An increasing number of yachts, such as catamaran GIZMO, are now being sold for above the asking price as multiple buyers enter a bidding frenzy.
Gomez noted that in todayβs fast-moving luxury yacht market, buyers should consider time, price, and risk when making their final offer to ensure it is the most competitive. Offering higher deposits and considering escalationcauses can all work in the buyerβs favour.
As 2021 continues to break yacht brokerage sales, buyers will need to put in place robust offers to remain competitive and help them secure their ideal yacht.
ABOUT WORTH AVENUE YACHTS
Worth Avenue Yacht was founded in 2011 by industry leaders Michael Mahan and Brian Tansey. With 30 years of experience in the yachting industry, Michael saw the need for a fresh and innovative approach to luxury yacht sales and charterβin fact, he believed an entirely new yacht brokerage business model was called for. Today, Worth Avenue Yachtβs cohesive, team-based attitude is what sets it head and shoulders above the rest, selling yachts on average nearly three times faster than the competition and with offices across the US and Monaco.

Another Incredible Success - Monaco Hosts an Exceptional 2021 F1 Grand Prix as the Flying Dutchman Max Verstappen Takes Victory
The 2021 Monaco GP was an enthralling event, with this yearβs edition living up to its hype and prestige. Charles Leclerc was supposed to start the race as he was the fastest driver in qualifying ahead of Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas in 2nd and 3rd respectively. However, due to a crash at the end of Saturday, which damaged his left driveshaft, he could not start the race. Another prominent driver who had a rather bad race was Mercedesβ Valterri Bottas, could not finish because of a wheel issue during a pit stop.
At the end, Verstappen emerged victorious in pole position, making him the leader of the driverβs standings for the first time in his career. Carlos Sainz drove home in second place, winning his first podium for Ferrari. Lando Norris of Mclaren finished 3rd in the beautiful special edition car used just for Monaco. Segio Perez and Sebastien Vettel were forth and fifth respectively, after a great race from both drivers. Vettel won his first points for his new team Aston Martin, while also winning the best driver of the day award.
About the Monaco Grand Prix
Monaco Grand Prix is one of the biggest races of the calendar year. It has a unique combination of history, prestige and excitement that only a few events have. In fact, Monaco GP, Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans 24 hours make up the Triple Crown of the most prestigious races in the world. To go with that, it is also the only F1 race in the world to take place inside a city, using the normal roads instead of a specific track. Today we are going to have a look at what makes the Monaco GP so special.
The race itself predates the current F1 world championship; it was first organized in 1929 by the Automobile Club de Monaco under auspices of Prince Louis II. On April 14, William Grover-Williams won the first ever race while driving a Bugatti Type 35B.
The race quickly gained importance in the few years after itβs inception. However, from 1938 to 1947 it was not held due to demand for high appearance fees and later the second world war. Another notable cancellation was in 1949 due to the unfortunate death of the Prince.
Ever since 1950, the race has been officially included in the Formula One World Driverβs Championship, with F1 legend Fangio winning the first edition. During the 1960βs, British driver Graham Hill came to be known as βthe king of Monacoβ for winning 5 GP races held in the country. He was the most successful driver before the implementation of new Armco safety barriers on the track in the 1970βs. These barriers were put as a result of accidents like Alberto Ascari and Paul Hawkins, where the cars ended up in the harbor waters.
After Hill, there were very few other drivers who were very successful at the Monaco GP β the Brazilian Ayrton Senna has won the race a record 6 times. Michael Schumacher, along with Hill, have won it 5 times; while Alain Prost closely follows with 4 times. Current world champion Lewi Hamilton has won the race 3 times, along with Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Nico Rosberg. The most successful team at the race has been McLaren, with 15 wins. Ferrari and Mercedes are a bit behind with 10 and 8 wins respectively.
The Grand Prix circuit de Monaco, along with Monza in Italy is the only track to have had the same circuit ever since itβs inception. The track itself has a total length of about 3.3 kms, making it one of the shortest in the entire season. However, the elevation changes, tight corners and a narrow course makes it one of the most demanding ones in the history of the competition.
Without a doubt, the coming race would be one of the marquee motorsport events of 2021.

Launch of the βGenoa Superyacht Hubβ Project - Amico & Co and Pesto Sea Group Market Genoa as the Ideal Year-Round Home Port for Superyachts
Genoa strengthens its leadership with investments in infrastructures and urban transformation. A project to promote the area internationally, aiming to further boost the economy relating to super and mega yachts.
Already among the main destinations for super and megayachts in the Mediterranean where on average more than 70% of the global superyacht fleet cruises, Genoa has further strengthened its leadership by investing in urban transformation and new infrastructures for hosting and managing large yachts.
For this reason, Amico & Co, leader in Europe and amongst the top three in the world in the superyacht repair and refitting sector, together with Pesto Sea Group, a market leader offering superyacht incoming services, yacht agency services and bunkering, are launching βGenoa Superyacht Hubβ.
The project was created with the desire of promoting the excellence of the companiesβ combined incoming, assistance, technical and hospitality services, specifically targeting these towards the international superyacht community in a synergic and efficient way, as well as valorising the cultural and environmental characteristics and the quality of life that the Genoese territory, Liguria and Northern Italy in general have to offer.
Genoa Superyacht Hub has as its objective that of reaching, in an effective and targeted way, yacht Owners and Captains, yacht and charter managers, crew members and technical staff, responding to each of their specific requirements through a wide range of services and structures of excellence, each of which sustainable and perfectly integrated with city living. A territory that represents something quite unique in the world, with its combination of renowned tourist destinations, food and wine culture, outdoor sports and recreational activities, mild climate and strong synergy between the numerous companies specialised in all sorts of dedicated yacht services.
This promotional activity revolves around portal www.genoasuperyachthub.com which, as well as presenting the services of the yachting agency, refit shipyard, crew hospitality, bunkering, ship chandlery, provisioning and marina, narrates the experience of living the city and itsβ surrounding area and is packed with insider tips and curiosities and constantly updated.
Genoa Superyacht Hub fully represents the synergy between the two companies. Thanks to this collaboration, completely new service packages and initiatives have been created, ever more structured and exclusive, entirely dedicated to sector operators. Particular attention is paid to the assistance given to captains and crew during their stay: from health assistance to financial advisory, for example explaining
how to open current accounts or access funding, sourcing professional training courses and organising dedicated events as well as providing information about what to do in town in order to live the dolce vita.
For technical managers, the project proposes webinars dedicated to refit management, as well as fiscal and customs updates, involving international experts; for charter managers continuous updates are provided on all of the most interesting and novel visitor and cultural experiences to be inserted into their charter itineraries.
All the information the hub produces is always available to the yachting community via dedicated social media channels: on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn.
The launch of Genoa Superyacht Hub also coincides with the phase of full operativity of the new Waterfront Marina, a centre devoted to hospitality for large yachts, their crews and their Owners, created by Amico & Co by redeveloping part of the Darsena Nautica area at Genoa Portβs Eastern entrance.
A modern and innovative structure, that enhances and completes the selection available for those who want to choose Genoa as a home port for every season, perfectly integrated with Genoa Municipalityβs Eastern Waterfront development, designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano. A major urban transformation intervention that will give hospitality to spaces and solutions designed to aggregate expertise and craftsmen from the yachting sector and the βblue economyβ.
F1 Driver Charles Leclerc Gifts His Victorious Ferrari Race Car SF90 To HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco
April 2021 marked a βmini-homecomingβ for the Monegasque F1 driver Charles Leclerc, as the racer gifted his iconic Ferrari single seater F1 race car SF90 to HSH Prince Albert. This car was driven by Leclerc during his victories at the Belgian GP and the Italian GP in the 2019 season, a feat the entire Principality is proud of.
At the Belgian Grand Prix, started the race in pole position, and continued his dominance throughout the race, finishing first. Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas finished behind in second and third position respectively. Leclercβs teammate, Sebastian Vettel, just missed out on the podium, as he finished at a more than respectable 4th position.
Similarly, at the Italian Grand Prix, Leclerc started at pole position and finished at the same. Hamilton and Bottas switched positions however, with the latter finishing second this time. Vettel however, managed to finish at a mediocre 13th place, especially since Ferrari is considered to be one of the best teams in the game.
Considered by many as one of the best drivers on the grid, Leclerc was gifted the car by the Scuderia Ferrari team; and as a tribute to the place he grew up in, he then decided to pass on the present to the sovereign. The SF90 adds to the Princeβs personal car collection, or the Monaco Top Car Collection as it is so often called. The collection already includes a Porsche 928, 1986 Lamborghini Countach, 1942 Ford GPW among others, which have been collected over a period of more than 30 years.
Speaking about the car, Prince Albert said β
βItβs wonderful! I thank Charles very much for having made this gesture to us and it is true that it has its place here. It fits perfectly into the logic of the Collection, which is to present old and modern vehicles, which trace the history of the automobile and motor racing.β
The collection currently sits at the terrace of the Fontvielle Centre Commercial; and is currently closed to the public due to the Pandemic. However, when it does re-open, it will surely create a certain buzz.

TDoS Launches The Aegir 2.0 - The Superyacht With The Lowest Possible Environmental Footprint
Aegir 2.0 is the name of the wind-powered trimaran designed by TDoS which is an upgraded version of the Aegir, which was launched in 2019. The luxurious sailing yacht with green technology will make her the cleanest possible superyacht to date.
The trimaran hull was chosen to prevent heeling, contain a stable platform and provide more generous deck space compared to traditional sailing yachts. By combining excellent hydronics with a hybrid wind-electric hybrid propulsion system that re-charges the batteries when under sail, the Aegir 2.0 has a virtually infinite range.
With an infinity pool in the aft and a Jacuzzi in the fore, the pool deck becomes the main platform for recreation. The seamless indoor-to-outdoor transition is enhanced by the grand panoramic glass walls surrounding the lounge and dining area. Offering guests an unobstructed sea view, the sky deck above is an open-air viewing platform with bar and lounge seating that adds to the unique outdoor experience. The exterior design is characterized by the black βwingβ that connects the generous, extended open decks with the trimaran pontoons. The Scandinavian-style clean and sleek hull lines serve as a base for the grand DynaRig.
The interior of Aegir 2.0 is defined by the combination of functionality and attention to detail with pure Scandinavian minimalism. Subtle colours matched with organic and light natural materials enhance the elegance of the ship. Aegir provides spacious rooms with generous light openings, offering a perfect home-away-from-home world where guests enjoy life both ashore and at sea.
