About Circuit Mont-Tremblant

Circuit Mont-Tremblant, also known as Le Circuit, is set amid the scenic Laurentian hills of Quebec, Canada, near the resort village of Mont-Tremblant. Carved into hilly, undulating terrain, it earned a reputation as one of the more picturesque and challenging road courses of its era.

The circuit hosted the Canadian Grand Prix twice, in 1968 and 1970, sharing the event with Mosport Park in Ontario during a period when Canada's premier race alternated between the two venues. Concerns over safety and the demands of the undulating layout ultimately ended its time in Formula 1 after just those two championship rounds.

Though its F1 history is brief, Mont-Tremblant remains a respected name in North American motorsport and continued to host racing for decades after Formula 1 moved on.

Memorable Moments

  • 1968: Mont-Tremblant hosted its first Canadian Grand Prix, with Denny Hulme taking victory for McLaren on the demanding Quebec road course.
  • 1970: Jacky Ickx won the circuit's second and final Grand Prix for Ferrari, after attrition thinned out the field on the punishing layout.
  • 1970: The bumpy, undulating nature of the track and growing safety concerns meant this proved to be Mont-Tremblant's last appearance on the Formula 1 calendar.

Track Character

Mont-Tremblant was a classic natural-terrain road course, with the track rising and falling sharply as it followed the contours of the Laurentian hills. The constant elevation changes, blind crests and fast, flowing corners made it both spectacular and demanding, rewarding bravery while leaving little margin for error. That same undulating, old-school character, set against a backdrop of forested Quebec scenery, gave the circuit its charm but also raised the safety concerns that ultimately limited its Formula 1 career to just two races.
