Mont-Tremblant, also known as St-Jovite, is a hilly road course in Quebec's Laurentian Mountains, north of Montreal; a short course opened in 1964 and the full 4.265 km circuit followed in 1965. The lap starts with a flat-out first corner whose apex is on a crest, and includes the uphill Namerow hairpin and 'The Hump', a crest in the middle of the back straight where cars went light or airborne. Formula 1 raced there in 1968, when Denny Hulme led a McLaren one-two, and in 1970, when Jacky Ickx won for Ferrari; the bumpy surface broke many cars, and the remote location and the dangers of the narrow track saw the Canadian Grand Prix move to Mosport and later Montreal. Rebuilt in 2000-2002 after Lawrence Stroll bought it, with a wider track, more run-off and a much lower Hump, the circuit is still in use, mainly for historic racing.
