Grand Prix of Toronto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Prix of Toronto, is a Champ Car World Series race held annually since 1986 in Toronto, Ontario. The track is an 11 turn 2.824 kilometre track and is run at Exhibition Place.
The name of the race was changed in 2006 from the Molson Indy Toronto to the Molson Grand Prix of Toronto after it was purchased by the Champ Car World Series from Molson Sports and Entertainment. The name was changed to distance Champ Car from the rival Indy Racing League. Molson dropped title sponsorship after the 2006 race.
In the 1996 race, American driver Jeff Krosnoff was killed in a crash. In that same crash volunteer corner marshall Gary Avrin was killed, marshall Barbara Johnston also received injuries in the crash and was treated and released Sunday evening. In 1977 and 1978 the race, then named the Molson Diamond Indy and sanctioned by USAC was held at Mosport. The first Indy race held in Canada was the 1967 Telegram Trophy Race at Mosport which was won by Bobby Unser, his 1st career Indy victory.
