Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal — the Wall of Champions, 7 hours from London
The Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve — on the Île Notre-Dame in the St Lawrence River, Montreal — is one of the most beloved events on the Formula 1 calendar. Named after the legendary Gilles Villeneuve, the circuit is known for producing some of the most dramatic racing of any season: the Wall of Champions at the final chicane, the long DRS straights, and the compressed Montreal summer atmosphere that brings the city and circuit together in a way few GP weekends can match.
For UK-based F1 clients, Montreal is an excellent destination — approximately 7 hours direct from London Heathrow, arriving in Montreal in the early afternoon of the departure day. Air Canada operates from Heathrow Terminal 2, British Airways from Terminal 5. Both provide direct service to Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), from where the circuit is approximately 25 to 30 minutes by road. Luxelimo provides the London airport transfer that initiates the Canadian GP trip — from your home or hotel in London to Heathrow, in a professional vehicle, timed for the correct terminal.
The return journey — typically on the Monday or Tuesday after the Sunday race — is met with the same professional collection. Luxelimo monitors the inbound flight from Montreal and is at Heathrow arrivals with a name board when you land, regardless of any schedule changes. June in Montreal also coincides with the city's summer festival season, notably the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which typically runs during Canadian GP week. Many clients extend their stay to make the most of the city.
For clients flying to Montreal by private jet, Farnborough or Biggin Hill to YUL is approximately 7 hours by private jet. Both FBOs handle transatlantic business aviation and are familiar with F1 GP departures. Luxelimo provides the London landside transfer to the FBO with timing matched to the departure slot, and return collections from Heathrow Terminal 2 or Terminal 5 after the return flight.
