When was the Canadian Grand Prix built?

The first two sections of the circuit were built in 1964 and extended by another mile into September 1965. The extension featured long straights and by virtue of the terrain, a small hill. Nicknamed "the Hump" it gained legendary status during the inaugural 1966 Can Am race. Two drivers in practice found that their cars, both near identical Lola T70 CanAm cars, launched themselves into the air. Both drivers emerged unhurt but were unable to compete in the race. The Canadian winters quickly rendered the track surface very bumpy and as a result, the attrition rate was quite high in the two Canadian Grand Prix Formula One events staged at the circuit. Of the 40 cars entered in those two races (20 each, in 1968 and 1970 ), 21 reached the checkered flag (with only 16 classified – the rest finishing too far behind the race winners).

Racing Mont Tremblant? Attend Our FREE, LIVE Four Keys Talk!

In preparation for this year’s race, we held our first ever Mont Tremblant Training Camp, an epic weekend with 2 x 112-mile bike rides plus a long run. In addition to this year’s camp, TeamEN has historically had between 20 and 25 athletes at the race every year.

Weather

Mont Tremblant’s brief race day history has been very generous. The temperatures are generally in the mid-70s with a slight chance of rain. Seriously vanilla. That said, don’t sweat the weather report until about Friday of race week.

Timing of the Event

The timing of an event should be the #1 criteria you use for selecting what Ironman to train for and race — not hills, not weather, not water temperature, but does rather the timing of the event work for you.

The Venue

Travel costs and logistics: Tremblant is long drive from almost anywhere in the US. Even our Canadian friends have a solid drive unless they are from Montreal. You can fly, but a taxi would be $300 trip unless you have a hotel shutter.

The Swim

Practice Swims: The course has buoys out there to swim for most of the year, but due to boat traffic the proper course won’t be fully setup until sometime Friday. You’ll be able to swim in the lake before race day, just don’t over do it! We recommend you swim briefly around your race start time to note the position of the sun.

The Transition

Mont Tremblant has one of the longer transitions you’ll face, but the layout and design make it pretty quick. It’s basically a long run from the lake, up a street and into an extended area of tents that house your bags and the changing area. Your bike is racked in a similar area, with plenty of volunteers to help you out.
