Which Canadian Grand Prix grandstand is the grandest?
In this guide we’ll help you choose the perfect grandstand for your Canadian Grand Prix™ experience.
Montreal is a venue that almost always delivers an action-packed race. Tight corners and unforgiving walls are a hallmark of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. And one section of particular renown – the Wall of Champions on the track’s final chicane – has caught out many drivers over the years.
Grandstands are positioned along the back straight, turn 10 hairpin and the proceeding straight, Senna Curve (first corner) and the start / finish straight.

Turn 10 Hairpin Grandstands at the Canadian Grand Prix
Turn 10, also known as the "Hairpin," is a hotspot for passing opportunities as the drivers decelerate entering the corner and then accelerate exiting onto Casino Straight. Here, drivers undergo a significant 6G turn, slowing down to just 35 mph.
Situated on the outside of the track, Grandstand 15 faces the hairpin at the end of a high-speed 190 mph straight. You'll have a clear view of the entry and exit, ensuring you catch all the excitement.
Grandstand 34 is on the narrow strip of infield between the entry and the exit of the hairpin looking towards Grandstand 15.
With hard braking, overtakes, and full-throttle acceleration, these grandstands are a fantastic spot to watch from.
Grandstands 24 & 46 are strategically placed at the exit of the Hairpin before cars accelerate onto Casino Straight.
Seats in these grandstands are very close to the activities zone and the metro station.
