Honda Toronto Indy

Start your engines!  It’s that time of year again, when race fans brace the hot and sticky weather of the GTA and head to the Honda Indy Toronto – but this year will be different.  For the first time ever, Honda Indy Toronto achieves full summer festival status, July 18-20. “The festival aspect of Honda Indy Toronto continues to grow”, said Charlie Johnstone, president of the event.  There are several newcomers to the festival including the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series for its Canadian Championships.  Fans will have the opportunity to see top professional logger sport athletes compete in several events, such as the Standing Block Chop.  Also making a repeat appearance is the Honda Canada Junior Red Rider program and the Honda World exhibit.

Honda World has numerous interactive activities that fans can engage in, as well as games for both children and adults. If you’re up for a challenge, you can participate in the Honda Pit Stop Challenge held each day at Honda world.  This gives you the opportunity to test your skills like the pros and change a tire on a real race car.  Prizes will be awarded each day to the individual who has the fastest recorded time.
