Now that they've ruined turn 2, it wouldn't be interesting. That corner was full of character because of the concrete run off and relatively high speed exit. Now it'd be a hairpin with a 90 deg switchback, which is as bland and horrible as the hairpins at Indy. :(

We (the FUNCUP series) are going to Snett twice for that very reason!
Hoping for good weather in mid Sept!.. Last time we went there in autumn it was horrendous!

Apparently it was all that running "4 wheels off" that Palmer had the biggest issue with at that corner and demanded it was changed.

I watched the Toyota MR2s from the 200 layout and it seems on that combination Montreal becomes a hairpin into a quick chicane on the exit which despite being flat out does NOT help cars stay close together for the following straight.
(Fortunately the straight is long enough that a car can gain back in the slipstream what they lose at the chicane kink but it's not exactly conducive for overtaking :( )

I'd agree with having one race on the 200 and one on the 300 though, especially if it meant taking a race off of Brands Indy, which I'm getting right royally sick of now...
