Shannonville Motorsport Park Pro

The Pro Track configuration at Shannonville Motorsport Park delivers 2.47 kilometers of technical challenges across one of four road course layouts at Ontario's historic facility located 15 kilometers east of Belleville, roughly halfway between Toronto and Montreal near Highway 401. The Pro Track represents a middle-ground configuration between the facility's longest 4.03-kilometer Long Track and shorter variants including 2.23-kilometer Fabi Circuit and 1.80-kilometer Nelson Circuit, offering intermediate-level drivers a layout that builds skills without the intimidation factor of the full Long Track's extended sections. The Pro configuration's tight layout with extensive runoff space makes it particularly valuable for race testing and driver development, where mistakes meet forgiving consequences rather than immediate race-ending barriers.

What distinguishes the Pro Track from Shannonville's other configurations is the specific balance between technical corner sequences and modest straight sections that prevent the layout from becoming either a pure momentum circuit or a horsepower-dominated drag race. The 2.47-kilometer distance creates lap times typically ranging 90-120 seconds depending on vehicle class, allowing high session density where drivers complete 15-20 laps per 30-minute session rather than the 8-10 laps typical on the Long Track. Southern Ontario's continental climate creates distinct seasonal windows with the facility operating primarily April through October, with summer track temperatures frequently exceeding 45C while spring and autumn events offer cooler conditions. Shannonville's founding in 1974 established it as a birthplace of Canadian motorsport champions, with the Pro Track serving as the primary layout for Canadian Superbike Championship events and regional car racing series.
