  1. The best USGP helmet ever.
  2. I went down this wikipedia rabbit hole a long time ago. But I thought it was kinda cool that the island CGV is built on and the entire Montreal metro system were built for the 1967 worlds fair. Seems the geodesic dome and the casino are the only big structures left from that event. Most having been demolished to make way for some of the 1975 Olympic venues, including that rowing basin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expo_67
  3. Also, there should be a 20 lap kart race on said circuit by the drivers and make the winner get a championship point or something. Would be awesome to see them duke it out in a little kart race like that on identical karts.
  4. Would've loved to see one of the top Indy guys make an F1 appearance. I guess the SL bs squashed those hopes.
  5. Went back and looked at my statements for my Montreal trip this year for my gf and I. Right around $6k for the two of us. We didn't go too hard on meals, one nice-ish dinner at Vargas, the rest not super fancy. The flights were pretty obscene, I must've booked those a tad late. Hotel was a couple of blocks from the Place De Arms Metro station, so all the getting around was by the metro. Love that damn city though, the third time I have been there. $1800 - Hotel AC Marriott Downtown four nights $2300! - Air Canada Flights $890 - F1 tickets in the Lance Stroll grandstand $1000 or so for meals, drinking, random spending
  6. Jesus, that is some scary shit. Hope he bounces back quickly.
  7. Danny effectively ran in last the whole race. At this point, stick someone else in the seat, he done.
  8. Well, if F1 doesn't work out, I'd love to see him in Indy Car.
  9. Honda, you dummies.
  10. It's this. Someone on here posted a vid a while back. Danny is an absolute late braker, then turning in. The car is more suited to trailbraking into the corner and Lando is better at that I guess.
  11. I got an M2C around four months ago, still loving the shit out of it. BUT, we moved to Houston from Austin 6 months ago and sweet jesus there are jack shit for fun roads to drive on around here.
  12. Eh, probably a different Portia Odufuwa robbed that bank.
  13. Grew up with that movie. Feel like it was on TBS weekly. The scene with the Tomcats vs the Zero's over the old senator's yacht was awesome.
  14. Must be so awesome to get that call from McLaren asking you to test their F1 car. Hopping back into your Indycar after... Similar feeling to me driving my F150 after driving the M2C. I know these guys are pros, but I wonder if there is an adjustment period. Trying to forget the grip, power, and braking the F1 car had.
  15. There is no fucking chance we are alone.
  16. Any word on what failed? Looks like top end stuff (mgu-k or turbo).
  17. Sprint Race isn't showing up on YTTV for me. Anyone else? Gonna have to fire up F1TV I guess.
  18. Went to a bachelor party there in 2017. Had a good time at a dumpy place called Club Wanda's. Walked by over the weekend and I was happy to see it was still in business. Thought about talking my gf into going in, but not her kinda thing.
  19. There were a couple of times on Saturday as we were waiting in line to get to our seats in 50° rain like "Why are we doing this to ourselves?" lol
  20. Yeah, nice write up FTC. I know you said it, but Montreal really does do a much better job than Austin. No real surprise that far east Austin parched earth is worse than a lush island close to the Montreal city center and serviced by a got dang metro line. I highly recommend everyone attend a race in Montreal at least once. Also, was nice to get a break from the blast furnace for a couple of days.
  21. Is the guy who keeps flipping off Lewis in front of you? Or is that you? Lol that guy is in the row in front of us. A big group of jackasses that try to steal your seats. All wearing Alonso shirts.
  22. It's wet. 💦
  23. I think I am just to your right, Chewbacca. PXL_20220617_184301527~2.mp4
  24. We are flying Air Canada from IAH direct to YUL Thurs-Mon. These Air Canada stories got me worried! We're sitting in the Lance Stroll 🙄 Grandstand and staying at the AC hotel downtown. Appears that hotel is close-ish to a metro stop, so hoping to just use the metro all weekend. Make sure y'all fill out your ArriveCAN forms if you're going.
