We are pleased to report that the 2022 VARAC Vintage Grand Prix (VGP) will be held June 16 through 19, 2022, on the historic Mosport Grand Prix Track at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, just outside of Bowmanville, Ontario. 

Our feature marque will be MG! Our theme is “MGs vs The World”. We are sending out a special invitation to all MG racers and welcome MG cars of all types – PreWar; T series; A’s; B’s; C’s; GT’s; V8’s – bring them all!  

We welcome MG Vintage Racers who have designated this event as a Focus Event. There will be a special “all-MG” Race as well as a Nation’s Cup Challenge with Brits vs “the rest of the world”.  

Also the VVGP weekend will kick off a fantastic five-day gathering/meet for MG enthusiasts – MG 2022 – in Peterborough (June 19-23) ( https://mgtoronto.com/mg2022/) 

We also welcome the Formula Ford Challenge Series (FFCS) as a run group at this event. FFCS is an Eastern US & Canadian series for Formula Fords running under vintage race rules.

Covid protocols 

As we plan this event the restrictions and regulations that may face us due to the COVID-19 pandemic are not known. We are planning for travel restrictions to be minimum and people will be comfortable coming and participating in our event.

Test Day 

Thursday, June 16 is the pre-event Test Day with run groups for open wheeled, closed wheeled and street cars.  If you have never run on the Mosport Grand Prix Track at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park you must run the Test Day, unless you request and receive a waiver from the VARAC Race Director. 

Note that, as in the past, we are running Street Lapping sessions, so if your crew or friends want to experience the track , this is a great opportunity!   

Run Groups 

Along with our traditional Vintage-Historic (cars built before 1972), Classic (cars built up to 1999), and Formula Classic (open wheeled and Monoposto cars built up to 1999), in 2022 we’ll also have the following guest grids: The Toyo Tires F1600 Championship, and the Formula Ford Challenge series. 

We are limiting run groups for practice and qualifying sessions to 42 entries.  This may require us to institute wait lists for some of our groups.  Please register early so we can adjust the groups to allow as many entries as possible to run. 

Weekend Schedule 

  • On track Friday we run practice and qualifying sessions for all run groups.  
  • Saturday there will be races in the morning and afternoon for all run groups and on Sunday we hold our Feature and Special Races.
