Montreal - A report made public Tuesday says there is still hope the Canadian Grand Prix can be saved. Quebec's Minister of Economic Development, Raymond Bachand, told the Journal de Montreal that the file has "evolved favourably" in the last week and there is still reason to believe the race will be held in Montreal in June 2009.
The politicians trying to save the race are scheduled to meet with Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone on Thursday in London. Bachand said he was prepared to make a monetary offer to the promoter.
Bachand said he hopes the reaction of several teams that don't want to lose the visibility that a stop in North America brings to the sport, could help save the event.
