Circuit Gilles Villeneuve – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, located on Île Notre-Dame in Montreal, Quebec, was designed by Roger Peart and opened in 1978. Named after the late Ferrari driver who won its inaugural Canadian Grand Prix, the 4.361 km semi-permanent layout is built on a man-made island in the Saint Lawrence River. Known for its stop-and-go rhythm, heavy braking zones, low grip, and the infamous Wall of Champions, it consistently produces dramatic racing and has hosted the Canadian GP almost every year since 1978.
