I am on my way to Montreal, where I think I’ll go right to the track before going to the hotel. It should be a great weekend for everybody as Montreal is a very nice town and the track seems to fit the drivers. I was thinking about the advantage that Bjorn and Timo may have over the others, but it occurred to me that besides Ricordo, I think everybody actually has circuit Gilles Villeneuve experience. And I could be wrong with Ricordo anyway. I hope things work out for Bjorn naturally, but I’m afraid the edge he thinks he has is only on himself and not the competition. Not that that’s a bad thing, he can spend Friday finding the right line and set up instead of memorizing the track. It would be nice if he got himself a very solid result. After leading twice this year, he has shown that he’s more than a lucky victim of circumstances and that he can lay the hammer down.

I think a lot of people are confident going into this weekend as they feel that the Montreal track suits their driving style. Long straight aways which will be very fast and some corners which aren’t particularly fast. FYI the Power to Pass button has been increased to 75 seconds this weekend on account of these long straight aways.

Unfortunately given the track layout, I don’t know that I will be able to film too much this weekend. Now that champcarworldseries.com has put up my videos at rapid speed I feel bad. But logistically it’s going to be very hard. Oh well, I’ll figure something out.

Have a good weekend everyone if I don’t get a chance to write again. I have no idea if my hotel has internet or whatever. I do hope though, to have a couple of audio interviews. And hopefully next year, this whole blog could be on the main webpage, since it includes video, written material and audio interviews. We’ll see.

I have to go and figure out where Zwolsman needs to finish to remain champion and where Kasamets needs to finish to get the title and how many spots ahead and what happens if…I hate math.
Quick shout out to Andreas Wirth. He hurt himself in the morning session at Road America where he was set to start second and had jumped to second in points following his first win Denver. It would have definitely been a three-way fight to the finish this weekend had the young German been cleared to race. Next year buddy. Recover quickly.
