About This Event

The Chevrolet Grand Prix is the only round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship held outside the United States. LMP2 prototypes and GT Daytona cars race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, a road course north of Bowmanville, Ontario, and with no reserved seating the crowd watches from lawn chairs and blankets on the slopes.

1What to Expect

Three WeatherTech SportsCar Championship classes race together in 2027: LMP2 prototypes, GTD Pro and GTD, over 2 hours 40 minutes.
The IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge runs the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park 120 on the same weekend, with GS and TCR cars.
The Grand Prix Track is 3.957 km with 10 turns laid over rolling hills.
On track running is Friday to Sunday in July, the height of summer in southern Ontario.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • The Super Ticket covers all three days with general admission, parking and paddock access, and the paddock is where the teams, drivers and cars are up close.
  • At 2026 gate prices the weekend Super Ticket cost less than two single day tickets.
  • Camping on site keeps the whole weekend at the circuit, with campsites around the track that look onto the on track action.
