Mont-Tremblant

- This article is about the race track; for the village in Quebec, see Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.
Mont-Tremblant is a 4.26 kilometre (2.65 mi) race circuit near the village of Saint-Jovite in Quebec, Canada.
Set amidst the scenic Laurentian mountains, Mont-Tremblant is gorgeous. The track surface was very bumpy, however, and as a result the attrition rate was quite high in the two Canadian Grand Prix events staged here. Of the forty cars entered those two races, only 16 reached the checkered flag.
A major overhaul of the circuit in 2004 allowed more domestic and continental sportscar races to be held. Pit road was lengthened and widened featuring a new pit exit, while the pit straight was widened to 12 metres (42 ft). A chicane was added in Turn 2, while Turn 6 and 10 were modified to create two separate circuits which could be run simultaneously. The signature hump was lowered 3.5 meters (12 ft) for safety, hile Namerow corner was modified for runoff.
On July 1, 2007, Mont-Tremblant is scheduled to host a round of the Champ Car World Series, marking the series' first race at the circuit since Indy cars competed in 1967 and 1968, when Mario Andretti won both races.
