The fantastic motorsport facility of Mosport International Raceway, sited near Bowmanville in Ontario has been purchased by a company called Canadian Motorsport Ventures Ltd.


The company, established by race car driver Ron Fellows, transportation industry leader, Alan Boughton, and real-estate developer Carlo Fidani, has purchased the circuit from the Panoz Motor Sports Group.

The press release says that under the new leadership, Myles Brandt will continue to serve in his role as President and General Manager at the facility.

The release says also “The new leadership team brings a renewed focus, fresh thinking, and a strong vision on how to maximize the potential of Mosport. Over the next 18 months, they will look at all aspects of improving the facility to deliver the high calibre racing experience that fans, sponsors, teams and drivers want, including the construction of a new events and meeting facility.”

The treacherous, four-kilometre road course was created in 1961 and was the home of the Canadian Grand Prix from 1967 to 1977.
