Canadian Tyre Motorsport Park is a multi-purpose facility situated to the north of Bowmanville, Ontario, and was opened in 1961. Apart from its famous road racing circuit - which hosted Formula 1 world championship grands prix between 1967 and 1977 - the venue encompasses an oval circuit, a kart track and a driver safety center. Triple world champion Jackie Stewart won two grands prix (1971 and 1972) at the circuit then known as Mosport Park to become its most successful driver.

In 2001 the circuit was resurfaced and widened to comply with FIA standards although the circuit's traditional characteristics were retained notwithstanding these upgrades. The American Le Mans Series has regularly visited Mosport since the series' inception.
