Gilles Villeneuve circuit
Is it the exactly the same circuit used for the Formula 1?

In 2002, Montoya got the pole with a 1'12"836s
To do some comparison with the F1s Damon Hill got the pole in 1996 with a 1'21"059 |

F1 cars are faster, but not that much. 6 seconds or so. Let's not start a comparison battle

5 seconds this year actually...pole time was 1.19.665 by Tags... Comparisons are pretty pointless though, as they are very different formulas.

Now imagine the '99 spec CART car with more than 1000hp and a chasis that's maybe a second a lap slower than current. Who's faster now.

The F1 cars are faster, there's no doubt about it, but ChampCars tend to provide more exciting races, especially before F1's latest raft of changes.
