KARTING: New Cameron Motorsports track takes shape

HAMILTON, ON - Cameron Motorsports and MMG Financial are well underway with the newest Ontario karting complex called the Mosport International Karting Complex.

“We are really excited about this new venue for Cameron Motorsports and the Ontario karting community,” said Cameron Motorsports Bob Cameron. The new 14-turn 1.4 km track, which can be re-configured into several different shorter layouts, is located on the outside of Mosport International Raceway’s turn 8.

“Paving will be done in April, or early May depending on weather. The new track should be ready for racing on June 1,” Cameron added. Cameron Motorsports has exclusive karting rights to the new Mosport International Karting Complex and the Driver Development track, and they have entered into an agreement with the Mosport Kart club, which has signed a three year exclusive deal with Cameron to be the host club of new track.

Future plans for the facility call for a fully stocked shop and the other facilities that essentially will make a carbon copy of the impressive Cameron Motorsports Park in Hamilton. “We will have over 40 2-cycle karts (F1-K) that will be available for testing, and there will also be arrive and drive programs, plus corporate programs will be available.” Cameron said of programs for the new facility. Day to day operations of the facility will fall into the hands of Cameron Motorsports operating partners Jean Guy Forget and Wrex Roth.
