With a total of 21 sprint races spread
over the seven championship weekends, this format ensures maximum inclusion as it accommodates both an extensive variety of sedans and driver experience at minimal cost. This is the largest series CASC-OR has and the action never stops.

paragon CompeTiTion gT Challenge The Paragon Competition GT Challenge
presented by Toyo Tires is a race group which provides endurance style racing with pit stop strategy. Two competitors are allowed to co-drive a car and share cham- pionship points, but that is only optional. In its third season of competition, GT
Challenge continues to grow each year and is now the second largest of all regional race series. They follow the same classification
structure as the GT Sprints (with the ex- ception of GT6) and each race requires a mandatory pit stop which may or may not include a driver change. New for 2012 is the introduction of the
GT1 Cup, a sub-series within the regular one hour race format, featuring six one- hour races over five events.

Toyo Tires f1600 Championship The Toyo Tires F1600 Championship is
an open wheel single seat racing series. It has two classes that compete for points during the season with cars grouped based on the year in which the chassis was built. The F1600 specification, upon which the
series is based, is an internationally recog- nized platform for driver development that has been the launch pad for many current IndyCar and Formula 1 drivers. The championship is scored based on 12 races over six race weekends.
tion of Canada (VARAC) is the main Vin- tage Racing Club in Eastern Canada, although we have members from the Prairie Provinces, the US, Europe and, of course, Ontario and Quebec. VARAC races cars made in 1989 or ear-
lier and split their cars into four age groups: Prewar (including postwar MG T series cars), Vintage (for cars up to Decem- ber 31, 1961), Historic (for cars from Janu- ary 1, 1962–December 31, 1972), Group 70+ (for cars from January 1, 1973–Decem- ber 31, 1989). We then split these age groups into classes based on what type of car they are: sedan, sports racer, open wheel car, sports car etc. Vintage racing should be enjoyable to
everyone with a minimum emphasis on re- sults. When you are competing just for the joy of taking part, it really does keep the fun in Vintage Racing. That’s the VARAC spirit.

(FTDA) Championship is a single marque, open wheel, single seat racing series. The strict rule set that provides a reliable me- chanical platform and virtually identical performance characteristics from car to car promotes driver devel- opment. Typically home to
some of the region’s youngest competitors, this series also attracts veterans who enhance the driver development experience. Racing is so tight that
the cars often form a train and it is not un- common for the top three or four cars to fin-

formula liBre As its name suggests, the Race Ontario
Formula Libre Championship offers all open wheel single seat race cars and light- weight sports racers that do not fall within any other specific recognized class a “place to race” at each of the seven regional cham- pionship race weekends. Don’t let the wide variety of cars fool you
into thinking that these are not fierce com- petitors. These are some of the fastest, most nimble machines at any regional race weekend and the drivers are enthusiastic about testing the car’s (and sometimes their own) limits. The Libre grid includes the popular Formula 4 class from the Three Quarter Litre Association (TQLA). •
