The Pirelli World Challenge has seven classes racing over the weekend with some premier car brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Porsche and Viper.
Mosport Raceway and Canadian Tire formed a partnership in 2012 and renamed the track property to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Continuous track and facility improvements have shown why the almost 4 kilometre Grand Prix circuit is one of the three tracks in the world to host Formula 1, Can-Am and IndyCar races.
