The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli is taking its races internationally to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. With a rich history at CTMP since 1970, this weekend’s event marks the series’ first visit to the track in a decade, also known as Mosport. Trans Am driver and Canadian racing legend Ron Fellows, now a co-owner of the circuit, won the last race in 2014 when Trans Am was last at CTMP. This weekend will see different classes like TA/XGT/SGT/GT and the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series competing together, promising a first-time Trans Am race winner on the 2.459-mile road course. The schedule includes qualifying on Friday, August 30, and the race on Saturday, August 31, which will be broadcast live on MAVTV, with the highlights show airing on Thursday, September 5. Despite no past Trans Am winners, several drivers in the field have had victories at CTMP in other series, and fans can meet all drivers at an autograph session on Saturday morning. There will be new numbers in the field to avoid duplicates, giving a fresh look to the race at CTMP, and two Canadian drivers Leroy Micallef and Aaron Pettipas will be competing in the event. Chris Dyson’s recent win at Watkins Glen has elevated expectations for a competitive race at CTMP, hinting at an exciting weekend ahead for Trans Am fans and drivers alike.
