Default Fuel at Mt Tremblant - Question

What octane fuel is available at the race track, and what fuel is generally available in town at a fuel station?

Limit is 92 dB A scale rapid response setting measured 50 feet away. A stock Gt3 passes easily if that helps.

He has been saying that for three years! It's not going to happen. Race fuel is brought in by a company from St. Jean in 50 gallon drums. Where do you think the track gets their garage pails from?

I know the fuel is usually delivered in drums but I was just saying what I was told last Monday night.

Sorry Carl, it's just that Matt has been saying that for a while.

No problem Mike. wasn't aware I was passing on an urban myth.

BTW, was the company (supplying the drums) always from St-Jean?? I know a few years ago Sunoco had a warehouse on Hymus in Dorval and used to supply F1 for the week-end.
