Default 2017 Canadian Grand Prix

Anyone else purchase their tickets for next years race? I'm back in my old seats in section 34 (sat in the grandstand last year to change things up)

Looking forward to wider, faster and louder cars and a Canadian on the grid.

Hey Steve,
We plan on making the pilgrimage again this year! Really enjoyed your spots in 34 last year. Considering going down to Senna this year to change things up. Hoping the GT3s are there again this year!

Glad you enjoyed the seats!

I haven't heard the lineup of support races yet but also hope the vintage F1 cars come back..they were very neat to see a few years ago.

FINALLY - we will have a GPC, no thanks to our city managers who defaulted on building new paddocks... More to do with the 50th GPC and home boy Lance. Regular seats in Section 33 ordered and hope the Cup cars are back... Great racing

I think we are doing the 3 different seats over the 3 days. Really enjoyed it last year... Hopefully it's not as cold

This was raceday last year. Filmed by me

That's what we did last year (15 years at the inside hairpins so I wanted to change it up)! If I didn't have great seats in section 34 I would but that package again.

BTW great video! Defiantly captures the way they accelerate.

Should be special this year , Canada's 50 th Grand Prix and Montreal's 375 th Anniversary ... i have a feeling they're going to go all out , especially with a young Canadian driver in the lineup !

Too bad for Francois Dumontier though ,they're trying to oust him in favor of Evenko as the future promoter ...

Looks like I was just a bit right of you, 3rd row, right infront of the two Mercedes.

You bet - been wanting to go for a while - timing is working out for me in 2017, can't wait.

Cheers

I'm skipping this year too. The 2014 GP was so bad (compared to previous years) that decided not to come back. They need to bring back the historic F1s and something better than a Nissan Micra challenge.

A few of us are planning on going. Already booked a hotel on Ontario East. What's the best site to order tickets from?
