Default DE at Mont Tremblant

Heading there in few weeks for the first time.
How does Le Circuit compare to Mosport (sorry - CTMP) with regard to brakes and tires?

Doesn't compare at all. Beautiful track but not as fast. Stay at hotel quintessence

I know it isn't as fast but what I meant to ask is whether it is harder or easier on brakes and tires. Calabogie and Shannonville, for instance, tax brakes more than Mosport.
Just trying to decide whether or not to bother with extra tires and installing the brake cooling ducts.

How about brakes - I don't fade at Mosport, but do at Calabogie without my ducting.

You'll be fine at Tremblant, i don't notice any difference between Tremblant and CTMP and if you're doing the Rennsport DE , be sure to go on the website and get the hotel discount codes !

A "few" less turns than Calabogie so it's much easier on tires and brakes ...

Hi Bob, don't think you'll need extra tires, but cooling ducts may not be a bad idea just to be proactive. I think you are really going to enjoy the track and the venue.
I'll email the link to my video.

Enjoy!

Cooling ducts is always a plus

Gt3 duct or gt2 duct, brake fans, good fluid, ss lines etc....

Have fun

Dont forget there is sound restriction at calabogie

Mosport is not hard On brakes, except corner 5, you better have a firm brake pedal

You could however hang with the 993 tt crowd. A weeks' rent at my 1,000 sq ft / 2 bedroom and bathroom/ huge outdoor pool equipped place at Tremblant would be cheaper than a weekend at the Quint.

I'm going to the one at the end of August.
Very few air cooled cars, guess my passing signal arm will get a workout😀
