Heyo,
I posted a few pictures from the Montreal GP onto my website.
http://www.mikebeauchamp.com under "Gallery". There's some pics I thought
would interest the nerds in here that haven't been lucky enough to go to a
GP (like I was until last weekend!) and walk on the track and such. There's
some closeups of the marbles and the some of the curbs, etc.
I definately noticed some inconsistencies with the track compared to F1C,
especially the run-off areas of turn 4, and the final turn 13. But aside
from that, I was actually suprised with how similar it was in quite a few
spots. You really don't get a feel for the elevation changes, because I
assumed the track would be nearly perfectly flat, and it isn't even close.

Heheheh :) I was just trying to say that admission prices in Europe are
*much* higher than in USA and Canada. Think 500 US$ or more for a weekend
ticket (seated)

I've been only saying this for the past 5 years here. Even F1RC isn't
close.

Oh it's close, just not PERFECT. The differences are small enough that it
would only take 1 or 2 laps to adjust. Plus, the circuit is always
changing.. new curbs being added, etc it seems.

Great pics and commentary, Mike. Thanks. We were hoping to get there
this year, until they started muckin' about with the schedule, on-again,
off-again. I'd prefer not to go to Indy F1 just to keep my money out of
TG's pocket!

Depends on how tall you are. The first F1 race I went to was general admission
at Detroit. It was tough to find a place where a 5 foot 7 guy could even SEE
the cars... :-(
I ended up watching the first half of the race on a big screen in Cobo Hall.
Near the end, they opened up the grandstand there to anyone. So I watched John
Watson win it from there...
