F1 in snow

I suppose 700hp or so may be a bit much for two wheels on ice even with snow tires, but it sure is cool.

Nice to see F1 back in Montreal...they can use the front wings as snow plows until spring.

I was there when GV won in 78(Senior in High School, drove up in my MGB\GT from Vermont) What a weekend! COLD!!!

AWESOME.

(Note: I have winter tires on my CTS-V and they work just fine in the snow. I drove the car every day of the big storm and following heavy lake effect snow that dumped 18 inches in my neighborhood three weeks ago. Thread title definitely applies here.)

That was great! Here's a longer version of the same video, look at the metal studs in the tires!
