The event is held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) in Clarington, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Enthusiasts and the general public aged 10 and older can experience the \u201cride of their life\u201d in exceptional cars with experienced race car drivers. The event also provides the opportunity for up to 50 track day participants to enjoy a full day of high-speed action piloting their own cars on track. The Celebration of Speed is not a timed event or a speed competition. Ride-Along drivers and Track Day participants are instructed to drive well within the limits of their vehicles and personal skill levels.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from the event support the Canadian Motorsport Heritage Foundation, a charitable organization founded in 1993 that operates the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame (CMHF), which honours individuals and organizations for their notable achievements and significant contributions to Canadian motorsport.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”CONTACT US” margin_bottom=”15″ margin_right=”20″ url=”https:\/\/cmhf.ca\/cos-etv\/contact\/”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”bottom” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”455″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”463″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
