Once again this past weekend, prestigious makes of the automobile industry, such as Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche were featured at the “Sommet des legends” at legendary Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.


The Circuit Mont Tremblant, which is one of the most grandiose race circuits in North America, renewed with the adventure of showcasing races for classic sports cars.

Those fantastic vintage cars were back in action for three days. The event represented a unique occasion to see in action sports cars of the 60s such as the Elva, Lotus, Mustang, Mini, Datsun, Triumph, and Alfa Romeo.

It was great to see for a few days cars fitted with antique wooden steering wheels, carburetors, threaded tires, steel wheels and H-pattern gear shifters!


The Historic Grand Prix cars were also present with several authentic vintage Formula One racing cars from the three-litre formula era that ran from 1966-1983.

In action were the Lotus JPS 79 of Mario Andretti, the Ferrari 312 T4 of the late Gilles Villeneuve, the Williams FW07-Ford of Alan Jones and the Lotus 87-Ford of Nigel Mansell, amongst others.
