Mosport Magic: Why CTMP Is Ontario’s Crown Jewel for Drivers
When it comes to track days in Ontario, there’s one name that consistently rises to the top: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park—more commonly known by its iconic original name, Mosport.
At Infinite Motorsports, we return to this legendary circuit multiple times each season. Why? Because Mosport is the gold standard. It’s a place where beginner drivers build confidence, experienced drivers push their limits, and every lap is a lesson in speed, control, and pure driving joy.
Whether you’re considering your first lapping day at Mosport or you’re a seasoned track day veteran, there’s no denying the magic of this Canadian motorsport landmark. Let’s dive into what makes CTMP such a special place—and why we’re proud to call it home base for so many of our high performance driving events in Ontario.
A Track Steeped in Racing History
Mosport isn’t just a great circuit—it’s a piece of motorsport history.
Opened in 1961, this track has hosted legendary races across multiple disciplines:
- Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix (1967–1977)
- Can-Am and Trans-Am championships
- IMSA, World Challenge, and Superbike events
- Countless grassroots and national racing series
Names like Mario Andretti, Bruce McLaren, and Gilles Villeneuve have all competed here, adding to its legendary status. When you drive at Mosport, you’re quite literally following in the tire tracks of racing royalty.
Today, CTMP is one of the most respected circuits in North America—and we’re fortunate to have it right here in Ontario.
The Grand Prix Circuit: Fast, Flowing, and Fearless
What sets Mosport apart from other track day venues in Ontario is its layout. The Grand Prix Circuit is a 3.957 km (2.459 mi) ribbon of asphalt that flows beautifully through the rolling hills of Bowmanville, Ontario.
Key Features of the Circuit Include:
- High-speed straights that test your throttle discipline
- Elevation changes that add complexity to every braking zone
- Blind crests and corners that demand commitment and confidence
- Technical sections that reward smoothness and precision
For those attending a lapping day at Mosport, there’s no shortage of iconic corners to master:
- Turn 2: A fast, blind, downhill sweeper that catches many first-timers off guard
- Turn 4: A thrilling downhill plunge that tests your nerve and car control
- Moss Corner (Turns 5a and 5b): A tight, double-apex hairpin that teaches patience and throttle control
- Mario Andretti Straightaway: An adrenaline-pumping flat-out blast where top speed meets bravery
This is a circuit that demands respect. It’s not artificially widened or over-sanitized. It’s raw, real, and rewarding—exactly what performance drivers crave from a proper track.

Mosport vs. Other Ontario Tracks: What Sets It Apart
