Report

In Race A, Barrie Williams put on a strong recovery drive from the back of the grid to finish third.
Stirling Moss was entered for Race C in a Ferrari 225 S but Willie Green took his place in the race.
Race D featured a tense lead battle between Martin Stretton and Nigel Corner, the latter driving the Maserati 250F with which Juan Manuel Fangio had won the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix. Corner retired with gearbox failure and soon afterward the 250F of Klaus Edel dropped a large amount of oil at Sainte Devote. This caused Gregor Fisken and Spencer Flack to crash out of third and fifth respectively, and the race was red-flagged after seven of the scheduled ten laps. Moss's winning 250F from 1956 also featured in the race.
Driving a Caravelle in Race E was James Hicks, son of the marque's founder Robert.
Race F featured former F1 drivers Moss, who finished seventh, and Maurice Trintignant, the latter reunited with the Cooper T45 he had driven to victory in the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix.
