Challenge returns to Mont Tremblant

July 15, 2009

Round five of the Ferrari F430 Challenge is set for Le Circuit Mont Tremblant July 24-26. Located 90 miles northwest of Montreal with the breathtaking Laurentian Mountains as its backdrop, Mont Tremblant is also the home track for the Ferrari Driving Experience.

Going into Mont Tremblant, Mark McKenzie (Ferrari of Houston) holds onto first place, with 1320 points after Round 4 at Road America. Scott Tucker (Boardwalk Ferrari – Dallas, TX) and Zak Brown (Ferrari of Silicon Valley) have swapped places; Tucker now in second a 145 markers behind McKenzie with Brown a further 40 points behind in third. In 2008 Tucker won one of the two races at Tremblant while McKenzie had a more trying weekend. Looking for an exciting battle at the front among these championship contenders.

Also returning to Tremblant is the Ferrari Historic Challenge. The action is always hot when these front and rear engined thoroughbreds from the past take to the twists and turns of the challenging Le Circuit Mont Tremblant. Le Circuit spans fifteen turns and numerous elevation changes that make 2.65-mile circuit one of most demanding circuits in the world. It’s so challenging that seven-time Formula One Champion Michael Schumacher has dubbed it "the little Nurburgring."
