Mont Tremblant Legends of Motorsports 2011

Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada	July 8 - 10, 2011





"Legends of Motorsports was at the legendary Le Circuit in Mont-Tremblant for the second event of its sophomore season of competition. Over 140 cars arrived for the three-day weekend comprised of seven different run groups that culminated in eight races today including a one-hour Enduro Race open to all entrants. "The weekend featured incredible cars and drivers such as Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Jacques Duval who co-drove with Hugh Kwok in a 2005 Porsche Triposto in the Enduro Race, finishing sixth. Also on the track this weekend was the 1980 Ferrari 312 T-5 once driven by Gilles Villeneuve that current driver and owner Bud Moeller brought to a fourth place finish in the Historic Grand Prix feature race. " 'What more can you ask for in a race weekend -- a legendary race circuit; top cars and very close competition,' said Bobby Rahal, Series Co-Founder and 1986 Indianapolis 500 champion. 'Legends at Mont-Tremblant is the exact experience we were striving for when this series was created and the entire weekend was outstanding.' " - Legends of Motorsports
