Located on Notre-Dame Island, in Montreal, this circuit will be renamed the Gilles Villeneuve circuit after the death of the Canadian driver.
It is made up of long straights, a hairpin and slow and intermediate chicanes. The low walls that border the track, sometimes a little too closely, are reminiscent of certain urban routes.
