Any fans?
After a federal law in 2003 banned tobacco companies from advertising at sports events, we came really close to losing our Grand Prix. But since, a financing has been put in place to keep the race in Canada through 2006 (if I'm not mistaken both provincial and federal government contributed something like $6mil each).
Anyway, this is a big event in Montreal, with all the rich people coming here and spending.
Now it's sponsored by Bud. Ironic, isn't it? Beer's cool, cigarettes not.
