Situated on the man-made Ile Notre Dame in the St Lawrence river, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a true high speed challenge with the cars averaging 130mph over the course of a lap.

The circuit combines long straights with tight chicanes and each team sets up their car to maximise straight line speed.

This race is a firm favourite on the calendar due to its unrivalled atmosphere. Montreal (4-7 June) becomes a party town during the race weekend and the locals create a fantastic atmosphere from the grandstands.
