For car enthusiasts everything about a car is as important as the first thing. From engine to upholstery, every single minute to major detail holds extreme importance to them. Such enthusiasts have successfully created a new genre of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) for car details. A typical car enthusiast or in a more realistic term a car fanatic can be recognized by few very common features such as monthly issues of car mags, following all official luxury car profiles on social media, stopping in the middle of the road to click the photograph of a luxury car spotted and of course their obsession with SPEED.

Such car enthusiasts or fanatics as earlier established have been basically the reason for the birth of the age old famous motor races of the world and Schumachers of the era. Hence we bring you the list of best motor races around the world:

First race held in 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix is one of the first Formula 1 circuits in the world. In 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix was, in itself, an event started couple of decades before the Formula 1 even came into existence. This circuit puts the cars and their drives through a series of tests and challenges and is undoubtedly one of the most difficult circuits to race in. A very twisting circuit and also narrow, keeps drivers on their toes the whole time. Chances were if the Monaco Grand Prix was not already on the Formula 1 roster, it would have been dropped, because of the safety concerns. Be that as it may, for drivers, winning a Monaco GP is a huge thing, even if they never won a World Championship.
