Montreal 2001 F1 Grand Prix
On June 8-10 2001, we went to the Montreal Grand Prix. This year we had seats on the pit straight, in Gold 2, looking across at the BAR and Jordan pit garages, and down at the end of the grid formation.
These are some of the photos from that weekend. Note, the pit straight is NOT a good place to get racing photos, so don’t expect to see any!
Crescent Street
On the Thursday before the GP, we went down to Crescent Street to see what was going on. It was quite disappointing, with nothing but people trying to sell us mobile phones, credit cards, insurance etc. etc., but I did get a
couple of shots of cars on display (btw, don’t try getting into NewTown on GP weekend without a reservation!):
