INDIANAPOLIS – Due to ongoing restrictions in Ontario focusing on COVID-19 health-and-safety measures, organizers for the Honda Indy Toronto and the NTT IndyCar Series have canceled this year’s running of the event.
“The NTT IndyCar Series race around Exhibition Place and Princes’ Gates is a hallmark of our summer schedule,” Penske Entertainment Corp. President and CEO Mark Miles said. “To have that void for a second straight year is heartbreaking. We deeply miss our fans there and urge them to remain safe during these unprecedented times. IndyCar looks forward to a high-powered return in 2022 and for years to come.”
The festival atmosphere on the Streets of Toronto has been a staple of the IndyCar Series since 1986. The list of champions includes legendary names such as Bobby Rahal, Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser Jr., Michael Andretti, Alex Zanardi, Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon.
IndyCar officials are considering various scenarios for the remainder of the NTT IndyCar Series calendar as it relates to the cancellation of the event on the Streets of Toronto.
