With less than thirty days left before a busy new racing season begins, ground crews at Mosport International Raceway are hard at work preparing the tracks for a summer schedule that will include the only Canadian round in the prestigious American Le Mans Series for exotic prototype and GT sports cars and two races from the new NASCAR Canadian Tire Series (formerly CASCAR Super Series). Tickets for all events are now on sale.
“We’re excited about the upcoming schedule and the variety of racing that we’ve been able to put together. We have the best road racing lineup in Canada this season, ” said Myles Brandt, president and general manager of Mosport International Raceway. “The mix of both new and returning events will provide plenty of exciting entertainment for our fans, on and off the track this season. “
The season kicks-off with a long-time Mosport tradition, the Victoria Day SpeedFest Weekend (May 18-20). Racing includes the thundering muscle cars of the American GT Series and the Sundown Grand Prix endurance race for Touring and GT cars. Joining them will be the United States Endurance Racing Association (USERA) Spec Racer Challenge, along with rounds in the F1200 and Cup Lite Series. As the unofficial start to summer, the Victoria Day holiday is a big weekend for camping, music and fireworks, and all are important parts of Mosport’s SpeedFest.
The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, makes its Mosport debut on Father’s Day weekend (June 15-17) for The Clarington 200 presented by Canadian Shield Anticrime Response Corporation on the road course. Joining the stock cars in the second half of the twin-bill will be the U. S. based Grand-Am KONI Challenge featuring domestic and imported high performance sedans competing in separate races for the GS and ST races.
