It's a pretty good stab at replicating the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.  Everything's in the right place, it's fun to drive and, since it lacks the elevation change of Infineon or the wicked camber of the Glen, it's the easiest road course to drive in the game, making it ideal for anyone wanting to get their road course confidence up.  However, there's been a bit of an issue with the short races I've ran.

 

I'm assuming our two versions of the game have shipped with the same AI.  I'm therefore also assuming that your road courses have the same AI caution hotspots that mine have (the Inner Loop at Watkins Glen and the left-right of turns 3 and 4 at Infineon).  Montreal's caution hotspot is the hairpin two corners from the end of the lap, and it's so bad that in the races I've ran, I've only had one full lap of green flag racing.  What happens normally is that the AI are all tightly packed from the start of the race, approach the hairpin still broadly in two distinct lines, and for some reason the cars on the outside line carry less speed through the exit of the turn.  The cars on the inside line then attempt a pass, mess it up and cause contact.

 

This contact should really fishtail the car on the outside off the road, but for some reason it doesn't and the car on the inside has a silly little half spin instead.  The following cars thunder into it, and there's a yellow.  Generally this happens on lap one, and then on the lap immediately following the restart, at which point the race ends under caution and I'm the winner, for reasons I'll get to in a minute.  On the one occasion we all made it through lap one, the accident took place on lap two instead.  I don't know if race length makes a difference, or if there are any settings that can be changed to alleviate it (though off the top of my head I can't think of anything to be done) but the races are an exercise in frustration because of it.

 

The reason I'm always the winner is that the AI aren't especially fast.  They're particularly poor under braking, an affliction they carry through every road course in the game.  Just now I qualified on pole for a Nationwide Series race using Dale Jr in a time of 1:44.4, with Dario Franchitti in 2nd place on 1:47.4.  From pole, all I have to do in a short race is stay on the road until I'm past the hairpin on lap one, do the same on the restart, and that's it.
