Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship confirmed at the Honda Indy Toronto

TORONTO, ON - The Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented By Toyo Tires (CCTCC) has confirmed that it will be on the card for this summer's Honda Indy Toronto. The CCTCC will be featured with two events, billed as the 'Acura Sports Car Challenge.' As many as 50 cars are expected to compete in the two CCTCC races on the temporary street circuit on Toronto's lakeshore.

The CCTCC races will be run at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 11 and at 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 12. CCTCC qualifying is set to take place on Friday, July 10. The Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented By Toyo Tires is Canada's top road racing series and is comprised of two classes of race cars. The Touring Class features cars with only minimal modifications and engines up to 2.0 litres in size. The Super Touring Class is comprised of more powerful race cars with larger engines and more aerodynamic enhancements.

Both classes compete simultaneously and challenge for supremacy in their respective classes. The CCTCC runs May to September and in addition to the Honda Indy Toronto, will also appear at major road racing events and venues throughout Ontario and Quebec.

“The Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented By Toyo Tires is very excited to partner with the Honda Indy Toronto for the next three years,” said John Bondar, CCTCC President. “Toronto has always been one of the best events in North America and we look forward to being part of this fabulous show.  Our inclusion in the Honda Indy Toronto confirms the Championship as Canada’s premiere Touring Car championship.”
