The SpeCTator should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Monaco Historique 2014

I enjoyed this event in 2012 and need to plan attending 2014.

I see the dates are announced as 9 - 11 May, however with Bernie's F1 calender unconfirmed I am reluctant to make bookings where non refundable deposits are involved!

To the best of my memory, I don't think the Monaco F1 GP has ever been moved in a reshuffle. Is the Monaco GP date bullet proof because of street closures etc?

It's traditionally based on a public holiday (Pentecost) which means the non-enthusiasts can get away for a long weekend and makes it easier to close the roads etc.

But the way things are with F1 these days who knows, they appear to have to squeeze 20 races into 23 venues or something equally daft.

Some websites have an asterisk by both dates saying subject to change so it might be wise to wait and see.

I think the pentecost tradition ended some time ago? GP seems to be fixed at end of May.Last historic meeting 2012 was two weeks before F1.I went in 2006-had a great weekend.Back in 1981 I managed a 2 week holiday coach tour of France covering Monaco F1 & Pau F2.
