Post *Montreal F1 2006 Official thread*

Okay, so it's just over a week away. Who's all getting geared up for the race. Its going to be a fantastic weekend. I'm staying at the Meridien on Sherbrooke and will be working helping out with our booth on Crescent on Friday night and all day Saturday. Should be a gong show all weekend!

Who's sitting where? I'll be in Grandstand 12 at the Senna corner with views of the start/finish.

I'm at the Days Inn on Rene-Levesque. I'm at Grandstand 24 (hairpin).

I'm going to all 3 days of racing - and Cresent during the evenings. What booth are you at again Hapa?

I'm hoping to walk out of there with a nasty sunburn and a Renault Pit crew shirt

Have you heard anything about the St Jean Baptiste issue with respect to shops being closed?

I just did a quick search, and it appears the gov't will relax the strict rule about closings for that day.
