Gimli Motorsports Park

The Gimli Motorsports Park is a 1.33-mile (2.14-km) road course carved in the middle of farmland on lands belonging to the Gimli Industrial Park Airport in Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. The town sits on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg, in a region with considerable temperature variations between seasons, where winters are long, cold, and snowy, so the racing season goes from April to September. The Canadian Superbike Championship and the SCCA Atlantic Championship are the two most remarkable events held at Gimli Motorsport Park. The complex also includes a 1/4 mile dragstrip known as Interlake Dragway, hosting competitions for the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

Races at Gimli Motorsports Park run counterclockwise, starting near the beginning of the front straightaway. The first braking sector comes at the corner one, a long left-hander where track width gets narrower than the preceding straight. Turn two is a slight bend to the right, followed by the snaking sector of turns three, four, and five, a left-right-left combination of tight radius corners. The back straightaway comes next, and racers get to 160 km/h through turns six and seven. The second hard-braking sector comes at the 90-degree turn eight, and drivers get back into the front straight after the sweeping turn number nine.
