Erik, I meant Montreal in Quebec. It is a motorsports region.
They love their race and really embrace the economic and cultural impact. On May 17, 2022, at 19:55, Erik Nielsen <judge4re [at] gmail.com> wrote:
The city of Montreal would actually prefer if they didn’t race there. They’ve bickered about it going back to the 80s.
The big issue is the money structure, their circus, their rules. Always looking for a new sucker to fleece for the privilege of hosting.
Still a snooze fest.

I will second Brian’s comment about F1 at Indy being well attended. I went a few times including 2001 2 weeks after 9/11 and it was sold out.

You'd be surprised ... the Indy 500 is well attended and its
racing, which we like here in IN! And the F1 race in Indy was
always very well attended. It's right in the middle of a lot of
large cities and very easy to fly into.

F1 is full of idiots. Go where the fans are.
That isn't necessarily the same as where luxury cars as sold.
First, go where the Italians are. NYC, Jersey, Philly, Boston,
Rhode Island. Yeah, there is already a race in Montreal but I
would think Watkins or someplace even closer to NYC would far
out draw Montreal. Watkins is even close to Toronto and I bet
there are more F1 fans in Toronto than Montreal. 20 years ago
the infrastructure probably wouldn't have been good enough. But
the area has grown and, believe it or not, NASCAR has funded a
big increase in hotels and restaurants in recent years. Only
slight upgrades would be required of the track. And it is cheap
to operate in the area.
Very few people in Indiana or Texas give a damn
about F1. There are several spots in CA that would work too.
Stick to the NE and CA for F1.
