F1 circuit layout records
Different layouts are kept separate where F1DB provides a layout identifier. This avoids comparing lap records from materially different circuit configurations as though they were the same track.

Mont-Tremblant F1 records and Canadian Grand Prix statistics
Circuit Mont-Tremblant occupies a distinctive place in Formula 1 history despite hosting only two World Championship Grands Prix. The demanding Quebec circuit welcomed Formula 1 for the Canadian Grand Prix in 1968 and 1970, producing two completely different winning stories: a McLaren one-two on the first visit and a Ferrari one-two when the championship returned two years later.
This page brings together the major Mont-Tremblant F1 records, including Grand Prix winners, pole positions, podium finishes, Ferrari statistics, fastest race laps and qualifying benchmarks. The figures relate specifically to Formula 1 races held at Mont-Tremblant rather than the complete history of the Canadian Grand Prix, which has also been staged at Mosport and Montreal.
Formula 1 raced at Mont-Tremblant in 1968 and 1970
Mont-Tremblant hosted two rounds of the Formula 1 World Championship, both as the venue for the Canadian Grand Prix. The first came on 22 September 1968, when Denny Hulme won for McLaren. Formula 1 returned on 20 September 1970, when Jacky Ickx delivered victory for Ferrari.
Those two races make up the circuit’s complete Formula 1 World Championship record. As a result, Mont-Tremblant has an unusually compact statistical history in which McLaren and Ferrari each recorded one victory and several of the era’s leading drivers left their mark on the qualifying and fastest-lap tables.
Denny Hulme led a McLaren one-two at Mont-Tremblant in 1968
The first Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix at Mont-Tremblant ended with a dominant result for McLaren. Denny Hulme completed the 90-lap race in first place, while team founder Bruce McLaren finished second. Pedro Rodriguez completed the podium for BRM.
Ferrari entered Chris Amon, who had shown strong speed in qualifying but failed to finish the Grand Prix. Amon completed 72 laps before retiring, leaving McLaren to claim the circuit’s first Formula 1 victory and its first two podium positions.
Jochen Rindt took the first Mont-Tremblant F1 pole
Qualifying for the 1968 Canadian Grand Prix produced one of the closest statistical details in Mont-Tremblant’s short Formula 1 history. Jochen Rindt was officially awarded pole position with a time of 1:33.800, while Ferrari’s Chris Amon recorded the same listed lap time but started second.
That result meant Ferrari came exceptionally close to taking pole on Formula 1’s first visit to the Quebec circuit. Jo Siffert later recorded the fastest lap of the race with a 1:35.100 benchmark.
Ferrari dominated Mont-Tremblant’s final Formula 1 race in 1970
Formula 1 returned to Mont-Tremblant two years later and the 1970 Canadian Grand Prix became one of Ferrari’s most successful weekends at the circuit. Jacky Ickx won the 90-lap race for the Scuderia, while teammate Clay Regazzoni finished second to complete a Ferrari one-two.
Chris Amon, by then driving for March, took third place and completed the podium. Jacky Ickx crossed the line 14.8 seconds ahead of Clay Regazzoni, giving Ferrari both of the top two positions in what proved to be the final Formula 1 World Championship race held at Mont-Tremblant.
Clay Regazzoni set Mont-Tremblant’s fastest Formula 1 race lap
Ferrari’s control of the 1970 race extended beyond the finishing order. Clay Regazzoni recorded the fastest lap on lap 75 with a time of 1:32.200.
Because Formula 1 did not return to Mont-Tremblant after 1970, Regazzoni’s 1:32.200 remains the fastest race lap recorded during an F1 World Championship Grand Prix at the circuit. It was also more than two seconds quicker than Jo Siffert’s fastest race lap from 1968.
Jackie Stewart holds the fastest Mont-Tremblant F1 qualifying time
The outright Formula 1 qualifying benchmark from Mont-Tremblant’s two World Championship weekends belongs to Jackie Stewart. He secured pole position for the 1970 Canadian Grand Prix with a 1:31.500 lap.
Ferrari was extremely close. Jacky Ickx qualified second with a 1:31.600, only one tenth of a second behind Stewart, while Clay Regazzoni placed the second Ferrari third on the grid with a 1:31.900.
Who has the most Formula 1 wins at Mont-Tremblant?
No driver won more than once at Mont-Tremblant. Denny Hulme and Jacky Ickx therefore share the circuit’s Formula 1 victory record with one Grand Prix win each.
The constructor record is equally divided. McLaren won in 1968 and Ferrari won in 1970, leaving both teams with one Formula 1 victory at Mont-Tremblant. The two races therefore produced no repeat winner at either driver or constructor level.
Ferrari’s Formula 1 record at Mont-Tremblant
Ferrari’s Mont-Tremblant statistics are defined overwhelmingly by the 1970 Canadian Grand Prix. Jacky Ickx’s victory and Clay Regazzoni’s second place gave the Scuderia a one-two finish, while Regazzoni also secured the fastest race lap.
The team’s first visit in 1968 had been much less successful in the race itself. Chris Amon qualified on the front row with the same recorded time as pole-sitter Jochen Rindt but retired after completing 72 laps.
Across the circuit’s two Formula 1 World Championship events, Ferrari therefore recorded one victory, two podium finishes and one fastest race lap, but no official pole position.
A 4.265 km circuit shaped by the Quebec landscape
F1DB records the Formula 1 configuration of Mont-Tremblant at 4.265 km with 15 turns, running clockwise. The circuit’s character was strongly influenced by the natural terrain, with elevation changes and a flowing sequence of corners making it very different from the flatter purpose-built tracks of the same period.
The original Mont-Tremblant facility opened in 1964 with a shorter configuration before being expanded in 1965 to the 2.65-mile layout associated with its Formula 1 appearances. The full circuit continued to follow the contours of the surrounding landscape rather than relying on a predominantly flat layout.
Mont-Tremblant used one Formula 1 circuit layout
F1DB associates Mont-Tremblant’s World Championship history with one Formula 1 layout. Both the 1968 and 1970 Canadian Grands Prix were therefore held over the same recorded 4.265 km configuration.
This makes its lap-time comparison particularly useful historically. The improvement between the two Formula 1 visits reflects developments in cars, tyres and performance rather than a change to a separately classified F1 circuit layout.
Why Formula 1 left Mont-Tremblant after 1970
Mont-Tremblant’s challenging terrain helped give the circuit its character, but the venue also developed a reputation for being extremely demanding on Formula 1 machinery and drivers. By the end of the 1970 season, concerns about the track’s condition and safety meant the Canadian Grand Prix no longer alternated between Mont-Tremblant and Mosport.
Formula 1’s 1970 visit consequently became the last World Championship Grand Prix at the Quebec circuit. Mosport continued as the Canadian venue before the event eventually moved to Montreal in 1978.
Mont-Tremblant fastest race lap and qualifying records
The circuit’s two principal Formula 1 lap benchmarks come from its final Grand Prix. Jackie Stewart’s 1:31.500 remains the fastest qualifying time recorded during a World Championship weekend at Mont-Tremblant, while Clay Regazzoni’s 1:32.200 is the fastest race lap.
Keeping the two records separate is important when comparing historical lap times. Qualifying laps represent outright single-lap performance, while fastest race laps were recorded under Grand Prix conditions with different fuel loads, tyres and race circumstances.
Mont-Tremblant records versus Canadian Grand Prix records
Mont-Tremblant statistics represent only one part of Canadian Formula 1 history. The Canadian Grand Prix began as a World Championship event at Mosport in 1967, visited Mont-Tremblant in 1968 and 1970, and later established its long-term home in Montreal.
