Autodrome St-Eustache

The Autodrome St. Eustache is a 1.1-mile (1.77-km) road course located in St. Eustache, a suburb on a 22-mile (35-km) ride northwest of Montreal, Canada. It has 14 turns spread along with a layout that shares several sectors of a NASCAR oval track that is also part of the complex. The average speed of the circuit is 65 miles per hour (104 km/h), but velocities as high as 155 mph (245 km/h) are on record in the main straightaway. The Autodrome St. Eustache remains closed in winter, and on the rest of the year, racers can experience high-performance driving over a wet surface on the 150+ rainy days on average Montreal has.

The layout of Autodrome St. Eustache snakes in a narrow strip of land and looks like two parallel curvy roads joining at the extremes.  The Start/Final line seats in a straight between turns 15 and 1, at the north side of the track. Turns number one to seven are fast-paced sweepers, but at the southern tip of the road course, a quick succession of two 90-degree left-handers create the first braking sector, followed by steep acceleration after exiting turn eight. Turns 9, 10, and 11 form a chicane-like combination that splits the main straightaway in two. Three sweepers are next, and a tight-angle turn number 15 leads to a short straight closing the loop of this exciting-to-drive circuit.
