Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
The circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is situated in Montreal, Canada. It is the home of Canada’s annual Formula One race.
The track is named after Canadian racing driver Gilles Villeneuve, who had a fatal accident during qualifying for the 1982 Grand Prix of Belgium (in Zolder). The circuit is in its current configuration a 13 turn, 2.71 mile (4.361 km) track.
Something of a hybrid street circuit/natural road course, Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve consists of a unique blend of high speed curves and tight chicanes. Notoriously hard on brakes, the circuit is also known for its “Wall of Champions” on the exit of the final chicane where World Champions Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve crashed during Canadian Grands Prix.
