Challenges and Economic Impact of Canadian Grand Prix

We head to Montreal, host city of the Canadian F1 Grand Prix.

It's the country's largest tourist event, with an estimated 345,000 fans attending in 2023.

And the sport is growing in popularity, thanks in part to the Netflix series, Drive to Survive.

So how valuable is a Grand Prix to a country's economy? And which other cities are trying to get in on the action?
