		In 1977 the French-Canadians, inspired by the success of rising star Gilles Villeneuve (who had been signed to drive for Ferrari in 1978) decided that they needed a new circuit in Quebec.
		The city found $2m for upgrading work and after a period of frenzied rebuilding the circuit (which was designed by Roger Peart) was ready for its first Canadian GP on October 8 1978.
		The dispute led to the removal of the Canadian Automobile Sports Club as the national sporting authority of Canada but the race was back on again in 1988, after the track had undergone considerable modification.

		It is also the site of Jean Alesi's one and only grand prix victory (an incredible record given the number of races he has had in race winning machinery).
		In 2002 the Canadian race began what was to be a familiar sight as Juan Pablo Montoya took pole position but was beaten through better strategy, better tires and better overall race pace by Michael Schumacher's Ferrari (the fact that his engine let go didn't help matters either!).
		The race was dull for a Canadian Grand Prix (which is usually very exciting indeed) but was still better than some of the "snorathons" that were to come later in the season.
