The Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA) Sommet des Legendes was held July 10-12, 2015 at Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Canada. BMW and its famed CSL model were featured at this year’s historic car race, the 11th edition staged on the 2.65-mile, 15-turn road course in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec.
Formerly known as Saint Jovite, the demanding Circuit Mont-Tremblant has a proud history, opening in 1964 and twice hosting the Canadian Grand Prix of the Formula One World Championship. Additionally, the legendary Canadian-American Challenge Cup or Can-Am series produced a number of its most memorable contests on the circuit following its 1966 debut there, won by racing great John Surtees in a Lola T70.
In addition to a great selection of BMW CSL racers, other notable and interesting entrants at the 2015 HMSA Mont-Tremblant historic races included Russ Kempnich’s 1984 Porsche 956C; Michael Malone’s 1968 Porsche 908; John Goodman’s 1972 Ferrari Sparling Special; Denis Bigioni’s 1948 Talbot-Lago T26C; Doug Kurtin’s 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS; Doug Mockett’s 1976 Penske PC-4; Chris Locke’s 1976 Lotus 77; Mogens Christensen’s 1965 Wolverine Sports Racer; Robert Blain’s 1967 Lola T70 Spyder; Pasqualino Cerasuolo’s 1961 Dailu Mk I Bardahl Special and Nick Incantalupo’s 1975 Osella PAS.
