    Hi Colin – Parking at the track isn’t the easiest. Finding it is the first task, and when you do, they make you park around “Cite du Havre”, then you take a taxi to the track (about $12). There is no charge for parking. But you have to walk back to the car which takes almost an hour. From Longueuil I think your best bet would be the Metro to the the track. It is only one stop. I have heard of people walking part way across the Jacques Cartier bridge from Longueuil, taking a foot path down to Parc Jean Drapeau island, and walking to the main gate to the track where you would join all the Metro riders. Even after attending for 35 years, I have never tried that so hopefully someone on the forum can shed some light on that idea.

    Suggestion? Use the Metro on Friday and Saturday. On race day we pack up our stuff in the car, drive to the track parking lot early, and walk back to the car after the race to head west to Ontario. Hope this helps. Have a great time!

    Hi Jim – I think if you call the Ticket Office 514-350-0000 they can offer several options for seating. I phone after every GP and just order the same tickets every year. They mail them to me, and there is a small service charge. After attending 35 years in row and trying most vantage points, I have found Grandstand 15 (hairpin) to be the best. At least 1/3 of the way up so the wire fence isn’t a bother. Senna corner is pretty good also.
    Enjoy the race! Steve

    Hey Luke – my pal and I are going again (35th year in a row, save the 2 cancelled years)! We are in Stand 15 at the hairpin. Your stand at Senna corner is a great spot. Enjoy the weekend – Montreal is a great city!
