So you’re going to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park this weekend and you want someone to explain to you what’s going on out there. The cars are production models but are modified for racing and manufacturers involved include Ford, Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette and BMW. Unlike next weekend’s Honda Indy Toronto or the F1 Grand Prix du Canada, in which all the cars racing against each other are the same, there will be four different types of cars all racing at once on Sunday in the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix. Drivers are racing against cars in their own class while keeping an eye out for slower cars ahead of them and faster cars coming up behind. Finally, there is GT Daytona, which is a second production class with cars entered by many of the same manufacturers but which are built to strict specifications.
