About

A street circuit IndyCar race held at Exhibition Place since 1986. The 2.87-kilometre circuit weaves through the CNE grounds and along Lakeshore Boulevard. The cars hit 290 km/h on the front straight before pitching into a 90-degree right at Turn 1.

The only major IndyCar race in Canada. NTT IndyCar Series is the second-tier of open-wheel after F1, but the on-track action — door-to-door, contact, late braking — is often better.

When

Practice (Friday July 17, all day). Qualifying (Saturday July 18, afternoon). RACE DAY — Sunday July 19, green flag at 3pm sharp.

Where
Exhibition Place, 100 Princes' Blvd, Toronto
Exhibition Place · Lakeshore

  3. 03Saturday morning pit walk gets you onto the track itself — 9am, free with general admission
