I hit the canadian grand prix last year, and I can honestly say that it was the best trip I've ever taken. I would of been satisfied with seeing only Montreal, as it is an amazing city.
One last note. The engine noise that you hear on TV does NO justice to the actual sound/feel of an F1 car ripping by at 180mph.
It is the loudest sound I've ever heard/felt. Music to my ears

I'll give a third :bs: to the WRC coverage! Even if it WAS Ralph Sheheen (and still is.....
) the same day coverage was the thing....
Have you ever been at a drag strip with top fuel dragsters? I'd be interested in knowing if the F1 sound is as impressive as the dragsters. As the drag cars go by, you can feel your entire body vibrating in tune with the noise. It is something wild!

Not to mention the 6ft flames coming out the back...lol...even from the parking lot it sounds like you're approaching an aircraft carrier (use your imagination) when the jets are taking off!
Once I heard a racing sounds cd...one track was...if I recall correctly...a V10 F1 Peugeot engine during dyno testing...I still remember thinking IS THIS BEAST EVER GOING TO STOP!?!?!?! I felt my ears were going to explode before the dyno run was over. Don't those babies rev up to 18k...19k...even 20k+ rpm?
