Canadian Tire Motorsport Park - GPAbout this event
Welcome to the 44th YEAR of the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix!
Please plan to join us for the 44th running of the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix being held June 13 - 16, 2024 on the Mosport Grand Prix track at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Classes for our event include Vintage (pre 1962), Historic (pre 1973), Classic (pre 1999), Modern Classic (pre 2006); Formula Classic (open wheel/ Monoposto race cars pre 2006) and Formula Ford Challenge Series (FFCS) racers. In addition, the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship Series will be joining us. There should be something for everyone – vintage & classic sedans & sports cars and a wide assortment of formula cars and sportsracers. It promises to be a great weekend of vintage racing.
Our feature marque will be Porsche! As such we sent out a special invitation to all those that run Porsches or Porsche powered cars, Vintage, Historic, Classic, Modern Classic; closed and open wheel specials-all are welcome!
As the feature marque, there will be a special “All Porsche” race (closed wheel cars).
We also welcome Volvo racers from across NA. If we get enough entrants here, we will run a special “all Volvo’ race.
SPECIAL RACES:
- The “all Porsche” race open to all Porsche closed wheel cars (<2500 lbs).
- The "all Volvo" race open to all Volvo closed wheel cars (<2500 lbs).
- The Rudy Bartling Nation's Cup. This will be a Porsche “against the rest of the world (RoW)” race. The race is a race to 10 – the first side, Porsche or RoW to get 10 cars across the finish line scores the win.
- The Ludwig Heimrath Open Wheel Challenge – basically an “all comers” race for open wheel cars.
- MG vs Triumph Challenge Race for these longtime UK rivals including award of the Tony Simms Cup for MG’s
We have a full program of off-track evening events, as follows:
On both Wednesday (new this year!) and Thursday evening will be barbeques (with beer) followed by live rock’n’roll music (details to follow).
On Friday evening is the Johnny Greenwood Banquet in the CTMP Conference Centre (cash bar), followed by live rock’n’roll music in the lower paddock provided by our very own eclectic house band, Fun Comes Fast.
On Saturday evening we have the CPS Paddock Crawl. The paddock Crawl involves 3 stations in the paddock; one for wings & ribs (and beer), another for submarine sandwiches (and beer) and the last stop Mudmen band at the top of the hill (or another beer if you are so inclined). Sponsored by CPS Flooring.
Off track on Sunday, Fathers' Day, is the always popular Field of Dreams Car Show and car parade.
