One of Mont-Tremblant’s hidden gem is its racetrack. Located in the city of Mont-Tremblant in Canada, the track typically hosts four events for summertime. The “Sommet des Légendes”, roughly translating to “Legends’ Summit”, is a gather of all things racecar - from LMP cars to early single seater. I’ll be judging this year’s event along certain criterias; Cars and Experience.

When you are subscribed to big, automotive magazines such as Road & Track and Car and Driver, you sometimes encounter weird and unknown words. For me, one these word was the flying buttress, a word which left me wondering about its meaning. A long time ago, I did a bit of digging and I found it was a piece of design usually found on the middle of the car. We’ll comeback later on. The flying buttress’ etymology comes from a certain shape that can be normally found on religious buildings such as church (though not all churches has them).
