I forgot to add that the Marlboro stickers feature a McLaren so it has to be 1974 onwards
The set also includes Brands Hatch so that makes it an even Year (discounting Race of Champions) plus Nurburgring and Fuji Speedway
Long Beach is of course US West but I guess it's East of somewhere ;-)

Looking up some websites, it seems St Jovite was only used twice for the Canadian GP - 1968 and 1970. It had been intended that it would alternate with Mosport with St Jovite hosting in the even years and Mosport in the odd years.
The plan was abandoned for 1972 because it was considered that the track surface was not good enough due to harsh winters.
Maybe it had been anticipated that the 1974 or 1976 race would return to St Jovite but it never happened?
Sometimes things have to go to print before a schedule is finalised and all the details are known - and sometimes, because of this, they end up being wrong.
I had an old t-shirt listing those countries that qualified for the 1990 World Cup. Denmark is on the list of teams taking part, but they actually failed to qualify in their last qualification match.

I figured that might be the case but there's always someone more wise on here so thought I'd put it out to the collective anyway.
It's been quite an interesting process determining which year the stickers come from and in the process discovering tracks I'd never heard of like Nivelles-Baulers (Belgium) and Montjuic (Spain)

Email Joe Saward. He likes these kinds of facts and is an expert on past tracks... he may be interested. It's been quite an interesting process determining which year the stickers come from and in the process discovering tracks I'd never heard of like Nivelles-Baulers (Belgium) and Montjuic (Spain)

Montjuich was like a very fast Monaco. After Rolf Stommellen's big crash there in 1975 it was not used again.
