    I don't think you can buy a weekly pass for the metro.

    A 3-day pass/tourist card costs $17.

    The weekly pass is $19.25. Granted, that's Sunday to Monday so it's not exactly a weekly pass for most GP visitors.

    I'm actually going to Mont Tremblant one week after the Canadian GP. They have their season opening weekend. I'm hoping I'll get to see some Ferraris there. If nothing else it's my first chance at seeing that track in person.

    I have Level 24, Section 4. (the last hairpin section)

    I also want to check out other areas before Sunday. If anyone interested in swapping Friday or Saturday tix, please pm me. I don't want to seat at the same section for all three days. I have 2 tix.

    Have been perusing this site for the past year or so as an aspiring Ferrari owner and just booked accommodations for my 3rd Montreal GP. I'll be back on pit lane, which, as exciting as it sounds, doesn't allow for a decent view of the race other than general admission. I may end up picking up some last minute grand stand tickets on site.

    Is anyone caravanning up from the NY tri-state area? Leaving Friday morning.

    On a sidenote, I just checked the USD:CAD exchange rate...1.00 USD = 0.990983 CAD. The US $ is now worth less than the Canadian $. How depressing.

    The way the american dollar is going soon we will be going to mexico to work because the peso will be worth more than the dollar. I'll be at the race Thursday thru Monday. I'll be a poor american begging at the front gate for canadian pennies

    Will be there for my 6th Grand Prix. Sitting in grandstand 12, section 6 right at the Senna curve (the best seats I think!). Driving up from MA but unfortunately will not with my 355 spider. Will be there only Sat & Sun. In the past I have been thre Thu-Sun. Staying at the Hilton again this year. Last year the Hilton was where the Williams team was staying.

    Well at least it saves time calculating and/or changing to CND. I still have some CNDs from last year what a great investment that was(7%). LOL.

    How long does the GP last exactly? I think it is 2 hrs? My flight will leave Montreal at 6pm so I am a little bit worry about not having enough time to leave the track and stuck in traffic. I have never been to Montreal... anyone knows?

    A maximum of 2 hours; you should have enough time. Not sure where you are sitting, just make sure you plan your post-race route; and run, don't walk when the race ends. If you have a car it's a little different than the subway. But - you should make it there by 5PM....
