The setting is the European-style resort village Mont Tremblant nestled in the splendor of the Laurentian Mountains; Mont Tremblant is located just 90 miles northwest of Montréal.
This is the perfect vacation getaway for the entire family. The driving enthusiasts’ have the world class racetrack and everyone else has a world class resort all within a radius of only 2 miles! Come early, stay late, and bring your friends… you can easily spend a week without getting bored. The area features fine restaurants, shopping, and over 100 miles of protected trails for biking, skateboarding, and rollerblading. There are two great golf courses, an aquatics center and spa, and a beautiful lake with a large beach. There are activities for the entire family.
This year’s event will be held Friday through Sunday, August 3rd to 5th and the Boston Chapter gratefully appreciates the help of the BMW Club of Quebec for their help with our Bimmers Across the Border.
The Track - This village is only 10 minutes away from the world class Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant. Built in 1964 in the shadow of the majestic Mont-Tremblant, the picturesque and twisty 15-corner 2.65-mile track was completely rebuilt and upgraded in 2001. It is two meters wider all around with extensive runoff areas everywhere. Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant has been upgraded to meet FIA vintage Formula racing safety standards. If you loved the track before, you won't believe it now!
Situated in one of the most gorgeous settings in the world for a race track, the layout is a classic, as it combines the natural topography of the site with elevation changes from the start/finish line, to corner 8 and back again. The track is bordered by Lake Moore and Devil River (La Diable).
We have worked very hard to provide an exceptional amount of track time each day. Advanced solo students will get 2 hours of track time each day on Saturday and Sunday and over 2.5 hours on Friday (if you sign up for the additional day). Novice and intermediate will get over 2 hours each Saturday and Sunday with a bit more time for soloed intermediate students possible on Sunday afternoon. Check out the event posting on the web site for a preliminary track schedule for each of the three days. We are subjected to the imposed sound limit of 92db and the 30 car limit per session for this event.
Vacations at a discount.
One of the sweet aspects of this event is the opportunity to take family and friends along for a value-priced vacation. Your hosts have negotiated unbelievable values on hotel accommodations right in the heart of the village available on a first come first served basis.
