The Le Mans and GT class of cars were on the packed lineup for the July race weekend at the historic Mosport track located just outside of Bowmanville, Ontario. The track has had considerable safety improvements made in the past year. In addition, numerous changes have been made to the track facilities; including a new visitor center and control tower, improved access roads and food/washroom facilities. Bravo, to the track management team for getting these changes implemented. Maybe these changes and a large sponsorship cheque may be the thing that will attract another high profile race event to the calendar.

The July LeMans Grand Prix weekend is unique as it features the different classes of LeMans style cars and GT cars. For a complete breakdown read the background material at ALMS.com. This race also featured the Canadian debut of the Delta Wing car which has a unique concept and design. For additional information about the Delta Wing car go to http://www.alms.com/teams/deltawing-racing. Unfortunately this car crashed in the early stages of the race and received a DNF. The race was eventually won by the pole setting Muscle Milk Acura HPD LMP1, piloted by Germany’s Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr for the fourth consecutive year.

For those that have never attended a big race event, they just might be missing out on spectator sports. There is as much to look at both on and off track. You will see people from a vivid cross-section of American and Canadian society. Full of clichés and at the same time breaking down stereotypes. I have dedicated a special gallery called Racing Life. I will add to these images every race event.
