The Montreal race takes place at the Circuit Gilles Villenueve, another street circuit just a short journey from the centre of the city.

Spectator-wise, the hairpin at turn 10 sees plenty of action and from the stands you get to see them coming and going although you’ll want to select a seat as far back in the stand as possible so the catch fencing doesn’t block your view.

This circuit is famous for the “wall of champions” at the exit of the final corner. Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve all collided with the wall in the 1999 race. Unfortunately, there are no spectating positions at that spot.

KYM'S TIP

tyre mark

Pick up a bicycle in town and ride to the track. It’s not too far and it’s great exercise.

TThe city itself is cosmopolitan for the most part but a walk though Old Montreal reveals a different side of the city. It’s busy, vibrant and buzzing around race time and hotel-wise I can recommend the St Paul Hotel and Hotel Le Germain.

Oh Canada, oh Canada, we love your GP!

ABOUT THE Canadian

GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT

The track winds its way through a wooded park. A good section of the track is not visible to the public and it is tricky for us to get to as we have to trek through some dense scrub and forrest.
