About the Tremblant designers

Regarding the discussion last week who designed Tremblant I got this mail from the circuit Tremblant guys: Hello Well, it was a bunch of guys who sat down around a table ....and basically they look at the ground and design a racetrack around it. But , Bruce McLaren review the design and made some comments, that why we read his name. Hope that it answer your question. Pierre Des Marais Business Development Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant Andre

I always assumed Peter Ryan had a hand in it. His family owned the Lodge (Mt. Tremblant), and Peter was a very gifted racer, in the mold of Sam Posey. He died shortly before the track opened in 1961 in Paris. He was 20. "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
