Does anybody know if the Crescent Street Porsche Parade is happening this year? I checked with http://rennsport.ca/ and there is no mention of any activities...

Not this year - like last year, sponsors have ponied up big bucks to take over the street, squeezing out the little guys. You know, the big names of Formula One... Bud Light. Ford. LG.

I'll be there.

Not sure who's gonna win, but I'll be rooting for pretty much anyone but Ferrari and Vettel. Hoping Hammy takes it.

voted Webbo this time perhaps because I visited Montreal, the F1 store and racetrack with an Aussie buddy.

Been to the track many times; twice for the F1 race and other occaisions when in the city on biz and wanted some down time. the track is on an island which is a park the majority of the time and is public access. I took a rental car around the track for a few laps drifting in every corner.....its was snowing

BTW....have some F1 carbon fibre at home, from the wall of champions at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.....wonder whos car its from? so many to choose from.

Not going this year but will be there virtually.

Salut Gilles

Vettel for the win. Went with LH last race thinking he was due to win and Vettel due not to win. This time I am sticking with my favorite. After the way he drove last race, holding off FA and JB with 60+ laps on his tires, I got to think he will find something in his car even if it does not have the best down-force. I expect LH and FA to be very aggressive, maybe to their detriment.
