Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Canada

The circuit at Montreal, Canada called as the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve not only hosts F1 but also cycling, walking events, jogging and inline skating. This circuit which is located at the manmade island Notre Dame in the middle of the St Lawrence River has hosted the Canadian Grand Prix 39 times since 1978. In between 2002 and 2006 the circuit hosted the Champ Car World Series Grand Prix of Montreal.

The famous part of the circuit is the "Wall of Champions" found at final chicane before the start/finish line where many champion drivers have collided and ended their races. 'Bienvenue au Quebec' meaning 'Welcome to Quebec' slogan was thus put up on that wall in 1999. Apart from the ironically named wall, the circuit layout consists of the Senna 'S' turn at turns 1 and 2, Casino corner at turn 8 referred as 'quick kink' and the 180-degree hairpin curve at turn 10.
