Canadian Grand Prix

This past weekend we went to the Grand Prix of Canada in Montreal. We sat right across from the pits at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in grand stand 1. Ben enjoyed looking in on the mechanics; I enjoyed the comfy seats instead of the metal bleachers at most grand stands.

Here are pictures from our trip, but they aren’t very good. I’m still learning to use my relatively new digital SLR.

Last year we sat in grand stand 33, which wasn’t bad. Next time I think we go we should try grand stand 11 or 12, near the first two turns, or one of the grand stands by the hairpin.

The race is on a street course at the Parc Jean-Drapeau, which is great because between races you can relax in a shady spot by the lake and have a picnic. It’s also fun to keep an eye out for groundhogs.

I could talk about the race itself, which was awesome (Go BMW!), but most of you aren’t F1 fans and would find it boring.
