Exactly!
We have been going to Montréal for the Canadian Grand Prix since 2004. Back when the W204 Avant was the Medical Car, it was always the highlight of the weekend watching the Beast come into Coin Senna (T1,2 complex). Sitting in Tribune 11, both 11 and 12 would always go crazy with the air horns to cheer on the Medical Car. Hahahahahaha. Aaahhhh, the noise from the 6.3L M156! The good ole days.....

It will be interesting to see what Bernd Maylander can do in the GTBS. Can't wait to hear the drives say "the safety car is going to slow....we can't keep heat in the tyres/brakes. Tell Bernd to speed up!" Hehehehe
