Molson "Grand Prix" is an Indy car race, I don't know why they changed the name from Molson Indy to Molson Grand Prix, but to me and to most the Canadian Grand Prix is the one of F1 car in Montreal....

The Indy one? That's actually a cool race, on the streets of Lakeshore. I should drop by when the race is in town...

Grand Prix isn't a term specific to F1, it is a term for a top-level sporting event of any kind, the "big prize".

What was your aperture and speed?
How far were you from the track?
Does your lens have a stabilizer?

That site doesn't keep exif info....most aparture ranges from f8 to f13 for panned shot. A few earlier shots around hairpin are done in f4-f5.6.
Shutter speed ranges from 1/100 to 1/250 in most cases.
Around the hairpin I am using a 300mm lens, while at the chicane i use a 70-200mm zoom.
