Grand Monaco Racing Track

The Grand Monaco Racing Track, or famously known as The Circuit De Monaco, is a world-famous racing circuit in Monaco. It played a key role in Iron Man 2, wherein Whiplash challenges Tony Stark's strength in battle against his own.

Tony Stark decides to drive in a race on the circuit, claiming that there's no point in owning a race car if you can't drive it.



Ivan Vanko, disguised as a trackside safety marshall, attacks Tony Stark on the track, destroying his car, before Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts drive into him, all the while throwing Stark his suitcase containing the Mark V suit of armor, which Stark uses to defeat Vanko, who is also known by his villainous alter-ego Whiplash, as he is referred to in the comicbooks.

Trivia

 * The racing car Tony Stark drives in the race is loosely based on the real-life 1978 Walter Wolf WR-1 Formula One racer.
