NASCAR coming to Montreal

As far as I am aware, Bernie and the CART bosses made sure the circuit was changed a little for CART. There is some agreement between them about not letting F1 anc CART be compared directly for fear of making the yanks cry.

Spascars should be funny as fuck around CGV.

Whos Ricky Bobby driving for??

Good one.

I REALLY look forward to seeing a great big fat, left-turn only tank trying to get round that hairpin......not to mention The Wall of Champions.

Welcome to Quebec yankee losers!

We're only missing IRL

CART and IRL will be merging soon anyway just to survive.

When they wave the checkered flag, will the spectators surrender? :p

Cambo...you know that they do run two road courses a year already...right???

mind you, they are my two favorite races of the season...maybe that should tell me something...

Yup, Watkins Glen and Infineon raceway ( sears point). Circuit de Gilles Villenueve is a trickier prospect, trust me. "Champions wall" is called so, because of it's UNCANNY ability to suck former and reigning world champions into BIG accidents.

Villeneuve, 1997, lap one....bang....last thing you seen on the onboard camera was "bienvenue au qubec" on the hoarding he was about to wollop. ROFLMAO

US race driving standards are a standing joke in the rest of the world, you do know that don't you?

Even the Japanese are held in higher regard, and they are so bad it's hilarious. I think the last US driver to do well (outside GT/Le-mans, where there have been a couple of half way decent yanks), was errrm Phil Hill. The Last Us born driver to win a Grand Prix was Dan Gurney, Spa, Belgium NINETEEN SIXTY SEVEN!!!

Your current best offering is Scott Speed.....10 out of 10 for the name, sod all outta 10 for living up to it, he's a mobile chicane.

Looking forward to seeing Juan Pablo Montoya in a spascar....the horror, the HHHHoror.

Somehow I don't think Bubba will be doing poutines
