Shannonville is known as the Birthplace of Champions.  Many competitors have honed their skills at Shannonville and have gone on to become champions on the world motorsport stage.

This world-class facility is home to the longest track in Canada, consisting of 20 turns, measuring 40 feet wide, and featuring a 2,000 ft long straightaway. Since opening in the fall of 2006, the Alan Wilson designed track has become the preferred destination for North American motorsports enthusiasts. Calabogie has been designed to provide a challenging, safe and charismatic venue for amateur and club level racers.

The premier classic/vintage roadracing event in Canada is the VRRA’s three day Motorcycle Festival held annually at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. While Mosport has long been recognized as the finest road race facility in Canada, many changes and upgrades have elevated its status considerably. It now ranks among the best in North America. This GP-class circuit with its elevation changes, high-speed straights and challenging corners attracts racers and street riders from Canada, USA and Europe to the Festival.
