Montreal Grand Prix, EDIT - updated with video
http://www.grandprix.ca/site_content.html
Wondering which seat to get, i was in grandstand 22 2 years ago and it was good, not exactly as shown on the diagram. I was thinking about grandstand 21 this year, what do you think?

i agree with Ronin - down by the hairpin maximises the time that the cars are in view - you might get to see some outbraking manouvres there too 8)
I trust that you will be taking a digicam with you :good:

I will definatly have a camara. When i was there 2 years ago, i captured a great video of the start of the race with all the cars going past, the sound was intense!!! The video is around 50mb and i share it to anyone who would like it.

Another vote for the hairpin ... it will be the perfect spot ... 24 looks good from what's available.

i was either thinking of 24 or 21. Grandstand 24 is a lot bigger then 21 so i am not sure if would be able to see as much? Also on 21 i might have a good look at the cars hitting 300km/h before slamming on the breaks. It is a tough chioce and i am booking tomorrow.

You better hurry up if you wanna get those seats. I went last year and tried to get tixx around this time and I ended up watching from the main straight.
Im glad I got to pop my F1 cherry and listen to the V10s before they became exstinct  Best sound ever
