    IndyCar in Montreal???

    Nascar Nationwide will be racing at Mid-Ohio in 2013 & NOT at Montreal. So, an August race date is now available. It's probably too late for 2013, but surely IndyCar has to be interested for 2014 and beyond. I'm sure the fans would be up for it and it would give Canadian fans a 2nd race in Canada (regardless of Toronto's double-header). I've read that DTM could fill the date, and it worked before for Nationwide/Grand-AM, so why not try an IndyCar/DTM double-header???

    I'm quite interested to see what people make of this???

    When F1 NJ race happens look for Montreal to be gone and that would be good opportunity for Indycar to pick up a date.

    NASCAR at Mid-Ohio? Isn't that pit complex too small for 43 cars? Well, it would be nice if IndyCar could run at Montreal anyway.

    When there aren't enough pit stalls to go around, NASCAR usually forces the slowest qualifiers to share stalls.

    Montreal will stay in the F1 calendar for decades to come.

    The fact that all the teams wanted Montreal back when it was absent for one year and as a result Bernie offered them a discounted sanction fee. It's a successful, well-attended event, they just need to upgrade the facilities a bit. It will stay on the calender.

    OK, I understand. The fact is you are speculating.
