Mark Roberts, who was influential in the preperation and planning of the launch of the F1 in Monaco on May 28 1992, has answered a few questions regarding the launch here (http://www.mclarenautomotive.com/cars/f1_15_year.htm)
Its a good (if brief) read, especially the bits about rolling the clinic model out to the street at 3.30am, just when the nightlife were leaving a well known Monaco nightclub and seeing the faces of the partygoers checking out the F1, and the bit about their drive in a Fiat 500 :)

That was indeed a fun read. Would have loved to have seen the expressions on the club crowd.
