Race Tracks in Canada

Canada's motorsport map runs from Formula 1's only Canadian date at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal down to a dense network of small-town dirt ovals and drag strips that fill summer weekends from Vancouver Island to Cape Breton. Ontario and Quebec carry the bulk of the scene: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport), Calabogie, Shannonville and Circuit Mont-Tremblant anchor road racing, while short paved and dirt ovals such as Flamboro, Delaware, Sunset, Ohsweken and Autodrome Chaudière run weekly NASCAR Pinty's Series and regional stock car programs. British Columbia's Area 27 and Mission Raceway Park, Manitoba's Gimli Motorsports Park, and the Maritimes' Atlantic Motorsport Park round out the permanent road-course roster. Drag racing centres on strips like Toronto Motorsports Park (Cayuga), Napierville Dragway and Mission, and motocross has a national home at Gopher Dunes and Walton Raceway. Street racing survives through the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières, while closures — Westwood, Race City Calgary, Western Speedway Victoria and Autodrome Saint-Eustache among them — have thinned the ranks even as new circuits like Area 27, RAD Torque Raceway and Rocky Mountain Motorsports have opened.

Track days and driving experiences in Canada

Ontario has the busiest track-day scene, with Shannonville, Calabogie, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Grand Bend all running commercial driver-training and open-lapping days through operators such as Driver's Edge, ExoticsRacing partners and manufacturer clubs, typically CAD 250-600 per day depending on car class and instruction level. Circuit Mont-Tremblant and Autodrome St-Eustache-era Quebec circuits historically served the Montreal market through similar club and rental-car programs. Area 27 in British Columbia and Atlantic Motorsport Park in Nova Scotia run member and public track days seasonally, while regional car clubs (BMW clubs, Porsche Club of America Canadian chapters, time-attack series) organise additional dates at most road courses nationwide.

Frequently asked questions

Does this list include horse racing tracks?+

No. This page covers only motorsport venues — road courses, ovals, drag strips, dirt tracks, motocross and karting. Canada's horse and harness racing tracks, including Woodbine near Toronto, are a separate industry and are not listed here.

What is Canada's only Formula 1 venue?+

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, which has hosted the Canadian Grand Prix since 1978 (with a handful of years off), is the country's sole Formula 1 circuit.

What happened to Mosport Park?+

Mosport Park was renamed Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in 2012 after a sponsorship deal; it is the same road course near Bowmanville, Ontario that has operated continuously since 1961.

Is Jukasa Motor Speedway still open?+

No. The NASCAR-grade oval in Cayuga, Ontario operated in two spells (1966-2010 and 2017-2021) before its owners announced a permanent closure in November 2021.

Where did the Canadian Grand Prix's IndyCar and Champ Car street races go?+

Street circuits at Vancouver's Concord Pacific Place (1990-2004), Edmonton's City Centre Airport (2005-2012) and downtown Toronto's Exhibition Place (1986-2025) each hosted open-wheel racing; the Vancouver and Edmonton events ended when they lost promoters or their airport sites closed, and the Toronto race moved to a Markham street circuit in 2026.

Is Sanair Super Speedway still racing?+

Sanair in Saint-Pie, Quebec continues to hold events, but the municipality has reserved the land for a possible future high school, leaving the track's long-term future uncertain — it is listed here as dormant rather than fully active or closed.

What is Canada's main motocross venue?+

Gopher Dunes in Courtland, Ontario and Walton Raceway are the country's two leading motocross facilities, both regular hosts of Canadian Motocross Nationals rounds.
