Canadian Grand Prix off 2004 schedule
WebPosted Thu Aug 7 17:07:31 2003
CBC SPORTS ONLINE - Montreal's Canadian Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2004 Formula One schedule due to an impending federal ban on tobacco advertising.

Race organizer Normand Legault said he received the news in a Thursday letter from Formula One officials.

Legault said the race was removed from the circuit due to the impact of Canadian anti-tobacco legislation.

The legislation, announced in 1997, forbids tobacco advertising on cars. The Montreal race had a seven-year grace period before tobacco sponsors had to be dropped.

"It was basically made in light of the Oct. 1 application of Canada and Quebec's anti-tobacco legislation," Legault told a news conference.

"So basically what that means for next June's event is that Michael Schumacher's Ferrari could not sport Marlboro's colours and Jacques Villeneuve's car could not have Lucky Strike on it."

The decision will have negative economic ramifications on the city, according to Legault. The June event has drawn crowds of more than 300,000 on race weekend.

"There's an important economic impact," Legault said. "There will be an important negative impact on Montreal's tourism."

Canada has been a part of the Formula One calendar since 1967, only missing two races in over 35 years. After turns at Ontario's Mosport Park and Mont Tremblant, Que., Montreal became the race's permanent home in 1978.

Local hero Gilles Villeneuve was the race's first winner in Montreal. The Ile de Notre Dame circuit was renamed in Villeneuve's honour following his death at the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix.

You are 200% right

but I understand that it is the FIA that banned Canada and not the inverse ... But ya right because that stupid tobacco legislation

Yeah but the guys had 7 FUCKING years to find something else !!!!

Gives ya an idea :boid

I quit smoking about 10 years aga and have no crave for it...

Even if I see a Players logoi on a driber or a Malboro on a car, I wont run to buy a pack.... These bans give nothing. You have to educate the youngsters and show them why not to smoke...

I calculated that over my smoking years, I soent about $100,000.oo. Put that in a house or even bank ...

And BTW I am not a fan of GP: never watch that.

I prefer to watch Dugnor fuck his sister with his buddies...lol
