Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Motorsport racing track in Mont-Tremblant, Canada.
Circuit Mont-Tremblant is a motorsport racing track in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada that runs 4.3 kilometers (2.7 miles) through mountain terrain. The facility includes 15 turns with natural elevation changes and offers a separate karting track alongside the main racing course.
Circuit Mont-Tremblant opened on 3 August 1964 as a 2.510 km twelve-corner track, extended the following year to 4.265 km. It hosted the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix twice, in 1968 and 1970; the 1970 race was Tyrrell Racing's first as a constructor. In 2004, after Lawrence Stroll bought the circuit, Alan Wilson supervised a rebuild that widened the pit straight to 12 metres and added a chicane at turn 2.
The Jim Russell Racing Driver School opened here in 1969 and counts Gilles Villeneuve, his son Jacques, Lance Stroll and Nicholas Latifi among its former pupils. A CIK-FIA-rated karting facility added in 2010 hosts Canadian national karting events. The track also runs three seasonal club meetings: Classique Printemps in May, Classique Été in July and Classique Automne in September.
The facility operates from May through October and offers track days, driving schools, and karting programs for different skill levels. Visitors can also rent the track for private events or corporate programs, with advance bookings recommended.
The track layout still follows the original design from the 1960s and uses the natural terrain features while meeting modern FIA safety standards. This combination of historical layout and current requirements makes the track a technically demanding challenge.
