Automobile Club de Monaco
Founded in 1890, the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) organises the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Monte-Carlo Rally and the Historic Grand Prix, and provides motoring services to its members.
The Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) is one of the oldest motoring associations in Europe, founded in 1890 as the Sport Vélocipédique Monégasque before being renamed in 1907. Affiliated with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), it is the organiser of three iconic motorsport events held in the Principality: the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, the Rallye Monte-Carlo and the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique.

- Rallye Monte-Carlo Classique — a regularity rally for classic touring cars.
- Grand Prix de Monaco Historique — held every two years on the same street circuit, in May, the weekend before the Monaco Grand Prix; see the Historic Grand Prix event page for details.
- E-Prix de Monaco — Monaco hosts a Formula E ePrix on the same urban layout in alternating years.
Member services
ACM membership is open to motoring enthusiasts and includes:
- Priority access to Grand Prix and Rally tickets and grandstand reservations.
- Issuance of FIA national sporting licences (Monaco licences) for amateur and professional drivers.
- Roadside assistance and travel support, partly through reciprocal agreements with other national auto clubs.
- Access to ACM's social events, conferences and publications.
The club also coordinates closely with the Government of Monaco on traffic and circulation arrangements during race weeks, and with the FIA and FIM (for two-wheeled events) on regulatory compliance.
Practical information for visitors
During race weeks, large parts of central Monaco are closed to traffic and access is regulated. Information on grandstand seating, walking tours of the circuit, and pit-lane visits is published on the ACM website ahead of each event. Tickets typically go on sale several months in advance and the most prestigious viewing areas (Tribune K, Piscine, Loews) sell out quickly.
For non-event motoring matters in Monaco — vehicle registration, driving-licence exchanges and traffic regulations — see the driving in Monaco guide. Those procedures are handled by the Monegasque government rather than by the ACM.
