Molson Indy Vancouver Wiki Information
Molson Indy Vancouver
was an annual Champ Car race held in a street circuit near B.C. Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada held in July or August from 1990 to 2004.
On September 2 1990, the first race took place on the original circuit, which was won by Al Unser Jr. However, from 1998, a new circuit was created to the east of the old Pacific Place, where only a small part of the original circuit was used. The circuit was popular with drivers and often produced an entertaining race. However, from 2004, Vancouver has been left off the Champ Car fixture list, and no race has taken place since.

At the inaugural race in 1990, a track worker pushing a car on the racing circuit was struck by another car after accidentally getting caught in its path. The worker, Jean Patrick Hein, was slammed to the ground and run over after running in front of Willy T. Ribbs' car and colliding with Ribbs' rear tire. [1]
