The Monaco Grand Prix is ​​one of the world's most popular Formula 1 races.

Months of preparation are required to organize the race, which is watched by almost a billion people.

The city streets will be transformed into a race track, stands will be built and parts of the track will have new asphalt. 

The drivers must, among other things, pass a hairpin curve that turns almost 180 degrees during the race - where it is important that the asphalt is smooth according to the construction project manager Pierre Pergola. 

- The most important thing is the Grand Prix track, it is the one that guides us in the asphalting work.

The Formula 1 cars drive all the way to the noise line.

We try to cover as much of it as we can, he says.
