OZC at the 2026 VARAC Vintage Grand Prix Lapping Day
2026-06-18 | Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, 3233 Concession Rd 10, Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3K6, Canada
Every year as part of the annual VARAC Vintage Grand Prix weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, VARAC runs a lapping/test day on the Thursday of the event.
And every year, a handful of Z cars from OZC join them!
By far it is the best “bang for your buck” on the Grand Prix Track at CTMP, with this year’s fee staying at only $475 for the day.
This is not an aggressive track day – it’s a well organized, well run, good people kind of event. Only one group is available for street cars (so the diversity of cars is vast) – but everyone who has attended in the past has expressed what great value it is, and what a fantastic day they had with lots of run time.
Bonus is that you’ll get to see all the race cars up close and personal that will be racing at the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix that weekend.
To register, access the event website listed in the details below; for more information you can contact event organizer Colleen Samila (varacvgp@gmail.com) or for an OZC member’s perspective you can contact Glenn Walker at glenn.walker@bell.net

Sunday’s spectator-focused activities will feature the event’s signature attraction—the Glory Days Parade Lap, giving participants a rare opportunity to drive the legendary Grand Prix Circuit.
Presented by Circle Back Social and sponsored by Zehr Insurance, Revival will include Historic Racer’s Corner, a Vintage Motorcycle Showcase, retro camping displays, a paddock-style village with optional period dress, and the Junior Grand Prix pedal car race.
As VARAC celebrates its 50th anniversary, Revival promises to enhance the Vintage Grand Prix experience while honouring the history, community, and spirit of vintage motorsport.

At this time, they do have July 26th available with an arrival time of 11:00am, 11:30am on track. But we will need to firm this up very quickly to ensue we don’t miss this opportunity.
Everyone in our group will be registered as a member for the 2026 season. Hamilton Karting Complex is a private race track – not open to the General Public – all participants have to be a member. The cost of each individual’s membership is included in the racing fee highlighted below. This will allow the members of our group to come out any time following your event to race and/or practice at our convenience.
They would ask all participants to come prepared with closed shoes (e.g. running shoes), gloves (any type of glove is fine – available for purchase if needed), and their complete waivers (link attached here) . Racing suits are mandatory and can be rented for $12. They provide racing helmets. (You can always bring your own if you have it).
Your racing event will take approximately 2 – 2.5 hours depending on the number of participants. Each racer will be on track 5 times (2 practice sessions and 3 heat races).
