Shannonville Motorsport Park Nelson CW
Shannonville Motorsport Park Nelson CW Notes:
The Shannonville Motorsports Park is a racing complex in operation since 1974 in Belleville, Ontario. It sits on a two-hour ride northeast of Toronto, Canada, approximately midway between Toronto and Montreal. The park's location near Lake Ontario helps regulate the temperature extremes, easing down the snowfall in winter and cooling down the summer heat. That means excellent conditions for racing year-round, pleasant temperatures, and weather variability adding up to the excitement. Shannonville Motorsports Park is known as "The Birthplace of Champions," with famous racers like the Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve honing his racing skills in the multi-purpose motorsports complex.
There are four road course layouts at the Shannonville Motorsports Park: the 4.03-km (2.5-mile) Long Track, the 2.47 km (1.53-mile) Pro Track, the 2.23 km (1.38-mile) Fabi Circuit, and the 1.80 km (1.12-mile) Nelson Circuit. A quarter-mile Drag Strip completes the racing facilities of the complex. Some of the events held regularly at the park are the Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship, the Canadian Touring Car Championship, and the CASCAR Super Series (now a part of NASCAR), to name a few.
Nelson CW Notes:
The Nelson clockwise configuration at Shannonville Motorsport Park in Ontario represents a specific layout variant utilizing the Nelson designation in clockwise direction at Canada's oldest permanent road racing facility. The Nelson routing creates particular corner sequences and technical characteristics distinct from the facility's other configurations. Running clockwise establishes the intended design flow for this variant, serving events requiring specific layout specifications.
Operating the Nelson CW showcases Shannonville's configuration flexibility where multiple layouts serve diverse event requirements at this historic Canadian circuit established in 1966. Ontario's continental climate creates distinct seasonal racing windows with operations primarily May through October, winter conditions preventing year-round use. The Nelson clockwise configuration provides specific technical challenge serving Toronto-area motorsport community at Canada's oldest continuously-operating road course, demonstrating the facility's adaptability through varied layout options supporting year-round event calendar during operating season.
