Media to Decide Canadian Grand Prix Priceless Moment (789 words)
The Canadian GP ballot, which was prepared by a select panel led by Canadian F1 historian Gerald Donaldson, includes "Priceless" moments from 12 races, beginning with the inaugural Canadian Grand Prix in 1967 and continuing through to last yearÂ’s accident-strewn race won by 1999 World Champion Mika Hakkinen.
The MasterCard initiative will be implemented with the assistance of more than 40 Canadian sports media, who will be polled to determine the top three moments, in order of preference, from among the 12 nominated on the ballot.
Through the aforementioned points system, the overall MasterCard "Priceless" Moment of the Canadian Grand Prix will be determined and announced in Montreal several days prior to the first Canadian Grand Prix of the new century.
