Mosport International Raceway in Clarington turns 50 this year, and the season promises to be an exciting one.
The Bowmanville, Ontario, racetrack announced their upcoming race calendar this week. The six-weekend program features the only Canadian stop in North America's premier sports car championship, the American Le Mans Series, along with visits from several popular U.S.-based championships like the World Challenge (GT, GTS & Touring), the SCCA Trans-Am Series and the Star Mazda Championship.
Canadian series figure prominently, with two rounds each in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and the Parts Canada Superbike Championship, plus three rounds in the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Series, the country's premier sedan championship.
Plans are underway to commemorate the track's golden anniversary milestone throughout the season, starting with this weekend's Canadian Motorsport Expo at the International Centre in Mississauga, ON. More activities will be announced in the coming months.
Mosport's held the line on admission ticket pricing, with weekend SuperTickets ranging from $30 to $65, and single-day tickets starting at just $15. Children 12 and under are admitted free to all race events at Mosport. Access to on-site features, like the Race Team Paddock and the Motorsports Expo & Marketplace, are included with every ticket, as is free parking and free admission to the Saturday Night Stock Car Racing at Mosport Speedway.
