"The roar on Toronto's lakeshore is no more as the annual NTT IndyCar Series weekend races north. Green Savoree Racing Promotions, which puts on the annual event, told CBC Toronto exclusively Tuesday it is moving the IndyCar Series race to downtown Markham in 2026 on a multi-year agreement. The event will happen Friday, Aug. 14 to Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026."
""We looked all around Ontario from Niagara Falls all the way through to Oshawa to Ottawa, you name it, to host this wonderful event," Jeff Atkinson, president of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Markham told CBC Toronto. "It really all came back to Markham. The city was very excited, as were we, to host the event here." The Toronto race had been a staple of the IndyCar Series for nearly 40 years,"
Green Savoree Racing Promotions is moving the NTT IndyCar Series race from Toronto to downtown Markham in 2026 under a multi-year agreement. The event will take place Friday, Aug. 14 to Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026. Toronto's hosting duties for the 2026 FIFA World Cup at BMO Field and various changes at Exhibition Place made holding the event in Toronto infeasible. Previous one-year agreements at Exhibition Place prompted the decision to seek a multi-year deal to build a local foundation. Attendance analysis indicated most of the audience has an easier commute to downtown Markham. A soon-to-be-finalized 3.52-kilometre circuit will sit partially on Unionville GO property.
