Louis B. should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Like many of the others, I only know my "home" GP. It might change though as I anticipate that either Joe Rossi, Glen or Quicksilver will invite me next year at their local GP .

I would dream to see the Monoca GP but, speaking of what I know, I find the Montreal GP pretty enjoyable. The track is in a "park" on an island in front of the city where there is also a casino. Some of the city streets fill in with pretty women from Tuesday / Wednesday in the week of the race and, if you can afford it, watching them from JV's restaurant (the Newtown) is entertaining. This is obviously hearsay but, according to very reputable sources (some of those pretty talented) representatives of F1 team pit crews can be met at the strip clubs on the evenings (Another particularity of Mtl is to have those within the business part of the city which is pretty convenient. This, again, is what I've been told ).

Despite the recent significant increase in the price of tickets due to uncle Bernie wanting more candies to keep the race in Montreal after tobacco advertising was banned, I still think it is one of the most affordable GP to attend. I would be curious to know the average price of tickets in Europe for a race week end. I tend to forget how much I paid last time but I think it was CAN $325 (i.e. approx. 140 sterling) for a good ticket for the whole weekend in the Senna Ss after the starting line (i.e just in front the pit exit).
