1979 champion Jody Scheckter's older brother Ian Scheckter contested 18 Grands Prix between 1974 and 1977, with a best finish of 10th. His last F1 race was the 1977 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport.
1969, 1971, and 1973 champion Jackie Stewart's older brother Jimmy Stewart drove in the 1953 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The Autostade in Montreal, home field of the Alouettes from 1968-71 and 1973-76.
The stadium is best remembered for its odd shape: to allow the stadium to be dismantled and re-erected on a new site if required, the architects employed a segmental structural system comprising 19 independent but linked pre-cast concrete grandstands, each 40 seats wide, arranged around the central field.
The stadium itself was offered for sale for $1, but not the land in was on. Had there been a buyer, they would have had to move the sections to a new location.
The Autostade was also used for some large rock concerts in the early 1970's, most notably, a Pink Floyd show in 1971 or 1972, when an airplane crashed into the stadium as a special effect, and much of the crowd thought it was real, but they were too stoned to panic.
If Rob Ford had been mayor back then, maybe he would have bought the stadium with taxpayer money, so that up to 33,000 people could watch the Don Bosco Secondary School home games.
