Le Circuit
Mont Tremblant is regarded as one of the finest racing circuits
in North America and has seen some of the greatest names in
racing drive their way around its demanding layout. Famous
names like Villeneuve, Andretti, Stewart, Moss, Ickx, Rahl,
and Tracy have all raced here on what Michael Schumacher described
as the "Little Nurburgring." Motorsport, sportsmanship
and competition are our passion! Whether you're behind the
wheel or not, we look forward to seeing you at the track.
Le
Circuit Mont-Tremblant is located in the picturesque Laurentian
Mountain. Its twisty 15-corner design utilizes the natural
topography of the land and is considered one of the finest
and most demanding circuits in the world. The hillsides around
the track provide natural grandstands affording spectators
with magnificent elevated vantage points. With more than 100
hotels, motels, condos and bed & breakfast units in the
region, lodging is plentiful. Also, Mont-Tremblant Resort,
an alpine-style village right at the foot of the mountain,
is a nearby facility. Visitors can enjoy and savor French
or international cuisine in more than 100 restaurants surrounding
the track.
The first event was held on August 3, 1964, on the short
12-turn, 1.5-mile circuit (north loop). Canadian Ludwig Heimrath
drove his Cooper-Ford 289 to victory in the 32-lap feature
race.
In 1965 the circuit was expanded to its current 2.65-mile
layout. British driver John Surtees, the 1964 Formula One
World Champion, won driving a Lola T-70 Chevrolet.
