I can't remember if any of you went last year?

How about this year?? Should be a very interesting season!

hapa

I didn't go last year but went the year before!

I will probably be looking at going to qualifying this year. I'm not interested in going on Sunday as much. I find it more comfortable watching it on TV then seeing one small corner and then watching the race on a big screen.

My company has a booth and is involved with the event on Crescent Saturday night so there is good chances I will be there as well.

It should be a good time!

looks like I will be working the booth on Crescent St. on the Saturday. I also looked and this weekend is St. Jean Baptiste celebrations as well. It's goign to be an Uber-Gong show!

I've recently moved to Montreal from the UK and am determined to go to the GP.

Can anyone suggest the best grandstand (I know a couple are sold out) or the best place to aim for with a general admission ticket?

(Former S2K owner, and thinking about getting another one over here)

General admission seats are generally miserable - you sit out in the sun in the dust, totally crowded, and you don't see squat.

In my opinion, the best grandstand is either start/finish (especially now that tire changes are allowed again) or the hairpin (lots of car exposure time).

However, you won't lose getting a grandstand seat at any of the front side chicanes - lots of passing and off-track excursions.

Definitely avoid general admission. There are no good viewing areas. Chicanes and the pit area stands are the best bets.

Fongu...you going this year dude?

Thanks for the info.

I went over yseterday lunchtime and did three laps to check it out. I think I'll go for the hairpin.

I couldn't believe how narrow the track is!

I'll be at the exit of the hairpin cheering fanatically for Super Aguri-Honda!!!!
