    @RobertoLarcos
    I’m from Canada and Montreal was my first race! It was awesome! However, I’ve been to Montreal many times and it’s still awesome, but no longer a novelty. What were the other six races you […]

    Yah, the cancellation of Thursday is sad…….. I have such strong opinions against these students that I won’t bother posting here as it’s just completely off-topic.

    But I spent some extra money to be in […]

    Question #2: For Thursday – do we need to pre-register to visit? Or limited first-come first-serve? Or pretty much as long as we have GS tickets, we can go on Thursday? I can’t find details about this. Thanks all!

    Question: Are roller blades allowed instead of walking? I’m not thinking of it for the crowded race day, but intent is for the other days with less people such as on Friday to go around the circuit to spectate […]

    Hey Jenny, thanks! I hope it’ll be an awesome time too! Remember to get some hearing protection for your kid(s). When I saw Drew Brees’ kid wear them after the Super Bowl win a couple years ago, I got it for […]

    For those picky about seating, searching youtube videos from previous attendees helped me out in terms of what it would look like in certain sections.

    I chose Senna Curve over the Hairpin because I heard the […]

    Better or worse is a subjective thing because you might prefer to sit high up to get more of a bird’s eye view of the action and not “as” noisy. For others, they want to be as close to the track as possible to […]

    MRPiGoiL replied to the forum topic Going to the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the group Group logoGoing to the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve 1 year, 4 months ago

    Jenny, when I researched seating for this circuit, I discovered that their seating numbers are not normal. At this track, they unusually start AA as the first row (closest to track) and goes upward from there […]

    MRPiGoiL replied to the forum topic There is Cheap Lodging in Montreal in the group Group logoGoing to the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve 1 year, 5 months ago

    Good stuff Shirleen! B&B are definitely likely the lowest cost for lodging.

    It’s my first GP too, but I’ve been to Montreal many times for both leisure and business. A couple times during Jazz Festival and […]

    I’ve booked Hotel St Denis. Not a hotel I’d normally book, even though 8 months away from Grand Prix, I snooze, I lose. I couldn’t find availability for the hotels i wanted and others are way too far away or […]

    it was a coin toss, but i booked GS 11 Section 6 Row A. I pray that the damn trees are not in the way of seeing the start/finish and some of the pits. based on some youtube videos of section 6, people could […]

    Man, I’m pretty excited now and it’s still 8 months away and i haven’t booked anything yet! Should I fly in on Wednesday evening or Thursday evening? Pretty sure to leave Sunday evening.

    MRPiGoiL replied to the forum topic Where to sit and where to watch at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve? in the group Group logoGoing to the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve 1 year, 6 months ago

    I’m contemplating Senna Corner GS 12 or 11, or GS 1 or 2, because it seems like I can view the start/finish, the pits, hard braking and hard acceleration all in one spot. Hm, I’ll peruse 2011 forum posts to see […]

    MRPiGoiL replied to the forum topic Going to the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the group Group logoGoing to the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve 1 year, 6 months ago

    I’m researching now on where best to buy tickets, and where to sit too. But, I think probably just buy from the GP’s site.

    I’ve been following F1 since 1995 on and off, but have been following it intently 2010 and 2011. It’s awesome! Now, I’m planning to go to my first grand prix in 2012. Since I live in Canada, why not go to […]
