The ones on Crescent are at least as far as I can tell, I did find one fairly close, but 250/night

Well, we know the metro system well enough and we also know that a metro station is NOT a 10min walk

We should be okay! Oh man, i'm already getting excited...Good ol' Cote' d' Vertu!

[DrDickAction]

Fuck, the hotel I stayed at is already up to 260.


Let's hope they come down a bit

[yonson]

No shit... I say we plan it a little better this year as far as hotels go, it'll be a lot easier if we all stay at the same place, and being downtown is definitely the place to stay IMHO...

Let's keep an eye on them and see where the prices go.

Hopefully they come down a bit after the super-early birds stop booking.

I'd love to make it to MTL next year. Gonna have to stop doing trackdays and start saving I guess

Why would you guys want to stay on crescent, too busy for me. If you want to save money i heard you can get a room at one of the colleges for like $175 for like 4 nights with parking.

On crescent is an exaggeration, 3-4 blocks from crescent is perfect.

We also have to remember to not leave any party left in the tank for Sunday night...maybe that should be our karting night.

I stayed about 3-4 blocks from crescent, on peel/sheerbrooke and that was a good spot.

DDA was around the same area as well, I think. Or I got lost around there one time,

Man, I'm already getting excited again about this trip...

Heidfeld linked with Sauber return

By Jonathan Noble and Dieter Rencken Sunday, September 12th 2010, 18:15 GMT

Pedro de la RosaNick Heidfeld is on the verge of an early return to Formula 1 this season, AUTOSPORT has learned, with sources suggesting that he is close to a deal that could see him drive for Sauber from the Singapore Grand Prix.

The German has been on the sidelines this year, having originally been test driver for Mercedes GP before recently assuming the development role for Pirelli.

However, sources have suggested that Heidfeld is now close to agreeing a deal that could see him back in a race seat for the next event in Singapore.

It is understood that if a deal is agreed then Sauber may move Pedro de la Rosa aside for the final flyaway events - with Kamui Kobayashi's place at the team secure now that he has a contract with the outfit for 2011.

Team principal Peter Sauber declined to say anything about the situation when asked in Italy on Sunday.

"I do not wish to make any comment about our drivers," he told AUTOSPORT.

Heidfeld has spent seven seasons in total racing for Sauber, during two separate spells. He competed for the outfit between 2001 and 2003 and then from 2006 to 2009.

De la Rosa returned to F1 this season after three years on the sidelines, and has scored six of the team's 27 points.

Raikkonen bids for 2011 Renault seat

http://www.autosport...rt.php/id/86688

Renault team principal Eric Boullier confirmed that Raikkonen had approached the team - and is in contention for a seat alongside Robert Kubica in 2011.

"It is true that the summer has passed and we have had more and more requests - and the guy you mentioned [Raikkonen] is on the radar now," Boullier told AUTOSPORT.

"He is on the radar because he contacted us."

Good thing he didnt sign with Mclaren huh

Sauber smart. Pick up Pedro to help develop your car, then grab Nick, the only guy who has experience with the new tires.

[Nacho]

Nick confirmed for the rest of the season.

anyone else notice how Jenson is getting away with a beard while at McLaren? I guess with Ron out of day to day ops, they're more lenient...

Yeah, they are getting much more fun...I'm actually becoming a McLaren fan again with all the videos they've been making too

The final race for the motorhomes provides the perfect opportunity for F1 teams to say their thanks to those who have worked with them over the course of the season since Spain – and it was McLaren's honour to host the British press pack on Thursday night.

Times have changed a lot at McLaren in recent years – with its once 'grey' image replaced with a far friendlier ambience that has made the Brand Centre one of the social hot spots of the paddock. Heck, the team even pumps out some mighty fine tracks on its sound system during the day.

McLaren made sure to keep up its fun factor at the British media dinner where, rather than simply laying on a feast, it put on a bit of a quiz.

McLaren PR Steve Cooper laid down some devilishly difficult questions – which included elements on chassis numbers, guessing which F1 writer penned famous paragraphs from the past year and -'Can you name the 16 British drivers who have raced for McLaren in F1?' The use of telephones and Blackberries to try and find the information was banned...

It was clear the hardcore specialists were going to come out on top – and all money was on the crack team of AUTOSPORT's Tony Dodgins, Motorsport News' Simon Arron, plus F1 Racing's James Roberts and Tom Clarkson to triumph.

However, the proceedings really hotted up when bonus points were awarded to the team who could come up with the funniest press release. The challenge was to devise a statement from the made-up SpeedTech Grand Prix team rubbishing reports in the newspaper that its star driver – and famed ladies' man Bjorn Knobjokke – had had a gay affair.

Many attempted to win the challenge, but the night was stolen by James Roberts, who stood up as Speedtech's team principal – a certain Don Rennis – and proceeded to bring the house down with a perfect impression of the man who used to run affairs at McLaren. Let's just say that this would be an 'inappropriate format' to provide any more details about what was said.

Roberts duly secured the points and helped his team capture overall glory – which earned all of them a signed half-scale replica of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton's helmets. Good one boys!
