I’ve been to Montreal twice.

Can’t be beat for price, location of track, no language issues (pretty much everyone speaks English), good crowd, usually good racing.

Monaco and Singapore would be a lot more expensive. I’d guess at least 3-5x more. Maybe more than that even. I could do a whole weekend in Montreal, include flight, accommodations, ticket, spending money, for the price of a plane ticket to Singapore or Monaco. And for as amazing as they are in terms of spectacle, both tracks are known for producing the worst races that are processional with little to no passing and the race being decided in qualifying.

Assuming any race in the world is on the list I’d say Monza would be near the top of my list. I’d also consider the track in Austin which usually produces good racing and is a great city.

I’d say it depends on what your dad wants and what you want to spend. You could probably do a full weekend vip experience in Montreal for the price of a single night hotel in Monaco.

Would your dad prefer Europe or Asia? Or does he prefer less exotic locations? Is he more of a budget traveller? Are you? Or are you both into more luxurious vacations? Would you want comfortable hotels even if super expensive? Cool with Airbnb? Camping? Any places you know he’s fond of? If you’re of English decent, maybe Silverstone would be preferred by your dad. Or if he’s Italian, or even a huge Ferrari fan, maybe Monza is better.

Monaco is viewed as one of the Crown Jewels of racing though, so if that’s on the list it is hard to argue against it. Montreal is cool but you could go every year. Monaco or Singapore are once in a lifetime trips for most people.

Funny you mentioned Singapore, Monaco and Montreal. 3 of the only races that are in the middle of the city. Most places you have to drive, camp or take a shuttle/bus to get to the track because they’re outside the city.

If you decide on Montreal feel free to message me for more details if you like.
