Peter Jackson Races


Welcome to the 2026 Peter Jackson Races

Please join us, VARAC, for a one-day vintage racing event - the Peter Jackson Trophy Races at Shannonville Motorsport Park (SMP). This event named in honour of our dear friend and tireless volunteer, Peter Jackson, takes place on Sat July 11, 2026.

It’s an intense, fun, "on-track” packed day! You get Practice, Qualifying and two races, all on the one day. You get basically the same run time here as a two-day regional for 40% of the cost!

All races will run on the Pro Track (2.47 km).

We expect to run 3 race run groups: VHC - Vintage / Historic (VH) and Classic (pre 1999) and Modern Classic CL/MC 3-5 & CMC-Modern Classic (extension of CL for cars from 2000-2005 and beyond in some continuation cases) CL/MC Bracket Classes A. 1-2 and Formula Classic (open wheel/ Monoposto race cars built up to 1999)

Friday night there will be a BBQ and music from our VARAC house band, Fun comes Fast. Get there early and hangout and have some fun!

Saturday, post-racing, will be an award presentation.

A guaranteed, fun-filled, intense good time!

Open Wheel Invitational


Welcome to the 2026 Open Wheel Invitation


The inaugural CASC-OR Open Wheel Invitational, presented by BARC-OC, is scheduled to be held at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park on July 25 – 26, 2026 with the test day on July 24. This event will be an open wheel event with six open wheel run groups, including:

  • Toyo F1600’s

  • F1200/Challenge Cup 1200’s/FV’s

  • Formula Ford – HFF/CF/MF

  • Formula Libre – Sub 1:26 lap times at CTMP – F1/F4/F4/FA/Indy Lights/F5000/F1000/etc.

  • Formula 70 (built between 1973 and the end of 1989)/Formula Junior/Formula Historic/etc.

  • Formula 90 (built between 1990 and the end of 2005)/F2000/Formula Renault/SuperVee/etc.

The event will be operated in accordance with the VARAC rules. The race weekend schedule will include 20 minutes of practice, 20 minutes of qualifying and three 25-minute races for each run group. The test day will alternate between the Fast Formula Libre Group and the other grids to avoid placing race cars with fast closing rates on track with slower race cars – 2.5 hours of track time will be available during the test day. We generated interest in attendance from a number of race groups including; two Formula Vee groups in the US and the US Formula Ford community among others. And following race groups are planning to or have already placed our event on their 2026 races calendars; the Vintage Atlantic, Vintage F2 and Vintage SuperVee series  and the Monoposto Racing Club. We expect to have at least 120 race cars at the event, but we are hoping for many more than that.”
