Historical Places Information 1. Monte Carlo Casino’s Building Officially named "Casino de Monte-Carlo", the Monte Carlo Casino is a gambling and entertainment complex located in Monaco. It includes a casino, the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo, and the office of Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. The Casino de Monte-Carlo is owned and operated by the Société des bains de mer de Monaco, a public company in which the Monaco government and the ruling family have a majority interest. The company also owns the principal hotels, sports clubs, foodservice establishments, and nightclubs throughout Monaco. The idea of opening a gambling casino in Monaco belongs to Princess Caroline, a shrewd, business-minded spouse of Prince Florestan I. Revenues from the proposed venture were supposed to save the House of Grimaldi from bankruptcy. The ruling family's persistent financial problems became especially acute after the loss of tax revenue from two breakaway towns, Menton and Roquebrune, which declared independence from Monaco in 1848 and refused to pay taxes on olive oil and fruit imposed by the Grimaldis.

  • Felix Rosenqvist
    FELIX ROSENQVIST TAKING A SUSTAINABLE VIEW ON MOTORSPORT A multiple title winner and frontrunner in every championship he ever contested, Sweden’s Felix Rosenqvist is one of the most exciting up-and-coming talents in international motorsport. The 2013 campaign saw Rosenqvist engulfed in a dramatic two-way scrap for the prestigious FIA Formula 3 European Championship title, eventually finishing second to Ferrari-backed Italian Raffaele Marciello. Rosenqvist also made history by winning the blue-riband Masters of Formula 3 event – Europe’s most important F3 race – for a second time. Felix Rosenqvist is backed by the official Mercedes- Benz young driver development programme. Following his 2013 achievements, he was ranked among the world’s top 50 drivers – all categories. Rosenqvist was the only Swede included on the list. 2014 sees the pursuit for F3 glory continue, along with expanded testing assignments for Mercedes in Germany’s premier touring car series, the DTM. AGE 22 LIVES Malmö/Värnamo (Sweden) HOBBIES Sports, music, movies CHAMPIONSHIP / TEAM FIA F3 European Championship / Mücke Motorsport CLUB Royal Swedish Automobile Club (KAK) FAVOURITE CIRCUIT Macau (Guia Street Circuit) FELIX ROSENQVIST INTERNATIONAL VOICES ”A laid-back dude outside the car but with an indomitable spirit and spectacular driving style in it. Add to that fantastic racecraft, and here you have a driver who would pretty soon become a Formula 1 fan favourite.” - AUTOSPORT, December 2013 “This guy is just brilliant – dead cool, very talented, very confident. I get blown away by how good he is.” - Peter Windsor, F1 Racing & The Racer’s Edge “An absolute talent.

  • John Harden Membership Matters Membership of the Club Has Now Reached 236, the Highest Figure Since We Reinvigorated the Club in 1998
    Celebrating 110 years of Motorsport Excellence September 2012 Chairman’s Chat Well, I wished for fine weather for our early September events, and wasn’t disappointed. The Aintree Autumn Sprint on 1st September was another excellent event despite the low entry, which unfortunately meant that the event didn’t cover its costs. However, the day itself went well and, although no records were broken thanks to an annoying headwind on Railway Straight, a great time was had by everyone with no fewer than 5 timed runs being available. The following day saw several of us back at Aintree to help run the Sporting Bears “Dream Rides for Kids” charity day. The day followed the same format as last year; we were controlling the on-track activities of this incredibly rewarding event during which children with health issues from local charities were given rides around Aintree’s Club Circuit in all manner of exotic machinery. Another grand day it was too, fully in line with the charity’s well deserved claim of giving kids “Miles of Smiles”. Then, just 10 days later, the Greenpower Electric Car Races were treated to yet another fine day, but once again a windy one. No this isn’t meant to be a weather report for Aintree, but I’m pleased to say that compared with many events elsewhere this year, we have faired fairly well when it comes to the inclement stuff. Talking to competitors and other event organisers, it seems that there are several drivers who have decided that they’ve had enough of wet events this year and have taken the decision to put the car away and wait until next year before coming out to play again.

  • The Role of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Hungary's Tourism
    BULCSÚ REMENYIK1 – CSILLA MOLNÁR2 The role of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Hungary’s tourism Abstract Formula 1’s business model is unlike that of any other sports series. F1 is the world’s most-watched annual sports series and attracts more than 400 million television view- ers on every occasion. Hosting an F1 race puts a country on the sporting map and stimu lates curiosity. Income from ticket sales comes to an average of around $33 mil- lion a year and has large influence on the economy, especially on tourism by generating income in the HORECA sector, transportation and other services. Formula 1 races reach a global audience and are keenly followed by avid fans. It is considered to be the most frequented sports event in the world after the Summer Olympic Games marked by high travel numbers. The Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix marks an important period for Hungarian tourism, as almost 2 million visitors have visited the Hungaroring during the last 25 years. This sports event attracts international visitors with increased tourist spending, which means a regular and calculable income for hotels and restaurants. The Budapest – Central Danube tourist region, where the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix takes place, is a well-developed and easily accessible area close to the capital city. Keywords: Formula 1, Hungaroring, sports tourism, tourism development, hotel industry JEL codes: Z3, Z2 1 Dr. Bulcsú Remenyik PhD, Budapest Business School, associate professor, [email protected]. 2 Dr. Csilla Molnár PhD, Szent István University, associate professor, [email protected].
