Having driven a few supercars over the years, I can tell you that driving these powerful beasts is like an event, every time you step into the driver’s seat. From firing up the engine, hearing it growl into life and pulling away, even at crawl speed, is adrenaline-inducing, every god-dam time. It never gets boring.

Monaco is subject to a supercar adrenaline rush, every god-damn year. The principality hosts the Top Marque event during the month of June. This is a time of civil unrest, where wealthy supercar owning elites lord it over the plebs. But the locals would like quieter times to return.

The burden of returning to normality is placed on the local Monaco police. Top Marques 2020 is canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, there will be many residents in Monaco with completely dry eyes, symptoms that can actually be attributed to the coronavirus.
