Montreal in iRacing offers one primary configuration: the Grand Prix Circuit, as used in Formula One. While only one layout is available, its distinct features make it one of the most exciting and technical circuits in the sim.
Grand Prix Circuit (4.361 km / 2.71 miles)
- Chicanes everywhere: Seven chicanes shape the rhythm of the lap.
- Hairpin drama: The Turn 10 hairpin decides lap time, overtakes, and race outcomes.
- Long straights: Slipstream and DRS-like drafting battles keep races tight.
Racing Characteristics
- High downforce vs. low drag: Car setup is a compromise between chicane grip and straight-line speed.
- Strategy calls: Tire wear is moderate, but fuel and ERS management matter in longer races.
- Overtaking zones: Turn 1, Turn 8, and Turn 10 are prime opportunities, with Casino Straight serving as the ultimate decider.
- Unforgiving track limits: Walls line many sections, leaving no room for error.
Montreal is a driver’s challenge and a fan favorite—a circuit that delivers tense, strategic, and thrilling racing across all classes.
