Circuit Name[edit]

The comment "held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve" is somewhat innacurate since that circuit only bears that name since 1983. I'm not sure what name it held in 1981. Montreal Circuit ? Notre-Dame Island circuit ? 216.144.124.171 03:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Lang's Grand Prix! Vol 4 indicates the circuit was renamed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in time for the 1982 race (about a month after Villeneuve's death). So I've updated the race location (to just "Montreal") in this article and also 1980 Canadian Grand Prix; this is consistent with the 1978 and 1979 race reports. Good pickup, by the way!

Assessment[edit]

I have assessed this as a Stub Class, as it does not go into any details about the event at all, and of low priority as it a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 15:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prost-Mansell Collision[edit]

I've just re-played it and I confirm that Prost got out of his car right after the crash. Not sure why it says 'and Prost lasting a few more laps'... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.191.186.77 (talk) 23:04, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Lang's Grand Prix! Vol 4 says the same. I've amended the text accordingly. Thanks for pointing out the error. DH85868993 (talk) 10:45, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
