Formula 2 Heads to Monaco This Weekend

Round 4 of the 2026 FIA Formula 2 Championship took the grid to the one circuit every driver circles on the calendar before the season even starts: Monaco. Run alongside the Formula 1 weekend from 4 to 7 June, the Circuit de Monaco is the slowest, tightest, most unforgiving stretch of tarmac in single-seater racing. We were there backing PREMA Racing driver Mari Boya (car #12), and there is no harder place to prove what you and your car are made of.

Why Monaco breaks drivers

At 3.337 km with 19 corners, Monaco looks short on paper. It is anything but easy. The barriers sit centimetres from the racing line, there is almost no run-off, and a single misjudged apex ends your weekend against the wall. The Feature Race runs 42 laps — over 140 km of total concentration with zero margin for error. Overtaking is famously near-impossible, so qualifying position and tyre management decide everything. It rewards the same things a good jobsite tool does: precision, consistency, and the confidence to commit.

The machinery: 620 hp, one spec, no excuses

Every car on the F2 grid is built to the same specification — the Dallara F2 2024 chassis, powered by a 3.4-litre single-turbo Mecachrome V6 producing around 620 hp at 8,750 rpm. When the hardware is identical for all 22 cars, the driver and the team make the difference. That is a principle we know well. The right tool, run by the right operator, beats a flashier one every time — which is exactly why operators across the Nordics trust our hydraulic breakers and excavator attachments to keep working long after cheaper kit has cracked.

Built tough to last — on track and on site

A GORE hydraulic breaker lives the same brutal life a Monaco car does: relentless impact, heat, and vibration, with no room for weakness. We back young talent like Mari for the same reason we build our attachments the way we do — because durability and precision are not marketing words, they are the whole job. The rock breakers in our range, our grapples, and our augers are engineered to take a beating and keep performing, season after season.

Monaco rewards precision over power, and consistency over flash. That is exactly how we think about a good attachment.

Following Mari and the F2 grid this season? While you wait for the next round, take a look at the demolition and construction attachments we run our name on. The full range of GORE and AWA attachments is in stock and ships fast across Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Built tough, priced fair, ready to work.
