I like section 31 the best out of the bronze seats. A couple of years ago Matt Lane hooked me up with some seats at the hairpin for race day which were terrific. I just have a hard time forking out $400 for a F1 race for 3 days worth of tix so I opted for the bronze. Even if the Beatles got back together with Lennon and Harrison I wouldnt fork out that kind of $$$ for concert tickets.

Sweet. I will look out for the sunburn.

Had I bought my tix the week before, I would of been in Sec. 1 as well. For Fri/Sat can you pretty much roam around anywhere or do ppl mostly stay at their assigned seats?

Will be going and might be taking the sled up. Can't wait! Think I'm leaving midday on Friday though so I'll miss practice.

always a great time at f1. don't leave your car unattended...Montreal is the auto theft capital for NA.
Hairpin is best section
you can park on crescent street with porsche club free for quali and race (they have securit to watch the cars)
after quali you can walk to casino (great buffet) and make a little money. also easy to get taxi back to city from there.
brush up on french. go to jaques bar "newtown"
see ya there

+1

Additionally don't leave anything you value in the car (especially not visible). I travel to Montreal every six weeks (for business) and I have seen many colleague loose laptops and luggage from rental cars in this manner.

Montreal is the worst city I have ever encountered for this type of crime.

As far as parking on Crescent, do I need to sign-up somewhere or can I simply show up with the 993 and be assured a spot?

Thanks again.

There will be lots of nice cars downtown....drive the 993 and enjoy. Last year, I had tourists take pics of my car (while I was in it)....that was a shock to me!
