Northwest Autosport heads North to the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Canada to put it's three drivers in the field of North America's largest and most competitive open-wheeled racing series, the STAR MAZDA CHAMPIONSHIP.

                          Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

History:
Named after legendary Formula 1 racecar driver and local Quebec icon, Gilles Villeneuve, the Circuit Gilleneuve is the site of the annual Canadian Grand Prix, and the only Canadian stop on the F1 circuit. Inaugurated in 1978 after the Mont-Tremblant Circuit was deemed too dangerous, the Ile-Notre-Dame Track as it was then called, was built by connecting the various roads that made up Ile-Notre-Dame into a racetrack. To the delight of Montreal F1 race fans, Gilles Villeneuve won his first race while driving for Ferrari at the Canadian Grand Prix in 1978. He went on to win another five races during his career but was tragically killed in May 1982 during a qualifying lap at the Belgian Grand Prix. Only a few weeks later the Ile-Notre-Dame Track was renamed the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in honour of Quebec's most famous, and Canada's first-ever, F1 driver.

Based in Milwaukie, Oregon, Northwest Autosport is one of the top teams participating in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear, which will feature twelve races across the United States and Canada supporting the American Le Mans Series, ChampCar and the GrandAm series.
