Formula 1 to Montreal, and the presentation of 
the always exciting Grand Prix of Canada," 
declared the Executive Vice-President of the 
organization, François Dumontier. "The loyal fans 
at the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit know it, nothing 
equals the experience of the Grand Prix of 
Canada, at Parc Jean-Drapeau. We gladly become 
addicted to such an event, to the shivers that 
overtake the bodies on Friday morning at the 
sound of the first notes from the symphony of 
motors, the suspense of Saturday afternoon's 
qualifying rounds and the excitement of Sunday's 
spectacular start. Best of all are the memories 
that rush through the veins until the next Grand 
Prix. Those who have not yet lived the experience 
owe it to themselves. They must live it, as a 
couple, with the family or among friends," added 
François Dumontier.
