New stadium seating feature will put racing fans in the heat of the action source: Torchia Communications Racing fans will be closer than ever to the action when the fifth edition of the Champ Car Grand Prix of Montreal is presented on the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve road course, August 25-27. "The Champ Car race in Montreal has always been extremely fan-friendly, and we want to make this year's edition even more accessible and affordable," said race promoter Alan Labrosse at a news conference today outlining plans for the 2006 event. "We are introducing a seating configuration which we believe will provide fans with a different perspective and further enhance the experience of watching North America's premier open-wheel racing series." Fans purchasing tickets in the Senna curve for this year's race will be 75 feet closer to the action than they have ever been for any type of open-wheel racing on Ile Notre-Dame as organizers introduce stadium-style seating, which will offer a truly unique vantage point. The three-day Senna stadium package includes a Champ Car paddock pass and on Friday and Saturday permits the holder to move from grandstand to grandstand, and watch on-track activities from any available seat. The other novelty in the seating configuration, which involves the start-finish grandstand, is remarkable in more ways than one. Three-day passes in this section, which also include paddock access, are available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores throughout the province of Quebec. Wal-Mart, in partnership with the Champ Car Grand Prix of Montreal, is donating one-third of the ticket money to Opération Enfant Soleil, a non-profit organization devoted to improving the quality of care for sick children.
