Maximum Monoposto

Next weekend brings Monoposto races three and four of our 2025 ten event schedule.  Both venues are iconic and offer really interesting racing.  It’s a shame that they are on the same weekend because many Monoposto members would enter both events if they were on different weekends.

VARAC's Vintage Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park has the most open wheel entries, 92 out of 329 total entries.  The SVRA Indy SpeedTour at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has 33 out of 136 total entries.  By that measure CTMP has a greater draw.  None the less, it's clear that regardless of which track you may be at and what class you might be in, you will not have a problem finding some close competition.

Each event and each track has its attractions.  The VARAC event is the 45th Vintage Grand Prix and as such offers a very full schedule of racing and off-track activities.  As is VARAC's practice, after the first day's running each session is a race with the grid set by the previous session's results.  You get the opportunity to move up the results sheets as you learn the track and improve your driving while enjoying more than the typical vintage event's two races.

At Indy we will be racing on the road course that IndyCar raced on before this year’s Indy 500.  It’s a challenging circuit with lots of passing opportunities.  The open wheel entries are spread across three run groups, FVs in one, Fords and FB cars in another and wings & slicks in a third. In addition to the normal opportunity to earn points leading to a possible Monoposto championship, Sunday will bring race three of this year’s Formula B Continental Championship.  Off-track activities feature prominently on the SVRA schedule resulting in a full weekend.

Because of the size and schedule of each event, there will not be a Monoposto party at CTMP or Indy.  However, trophies for the 2024 Monoposto champions will be at Indy and available for presentation by Mark Clark, Monoposto’s webmaster.  He will be looking for you, but you may find him in the GMT Racing paddock area.
