Castroneves thinks Bowmanville track for upcoming SportsCar GP suits his style
Helio Castroneves earned one of the formative wins of his open-wheel racing career over two decades ago in Toronto. He’s hoping a return to the area as a rookie on the IMSA WeatherTech Championship Series will yield similar results.
The 43-year-old Brazilian will be one of the headliners at the July 6-8 Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix in Bowmanville, Ont., about 75 kilometres east of the Ontario capital.
Castroneves was a regular at the annual Honda Indy Toronto at Exhibition Place but this will be his first time racing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
“I’ve heard about the place, that it’s really fast. That’s the kind of track I enjoy,” Castroneves said with a laugh.
