Grand Prix

Shannonville was built in 1974 by John Nelson who was a motorcycle and racing enthusiast.  He operated a motorcycle shop in Toronto and built the track to organize motorcycle racing events.  The original Nelson track – named after Mr. Nelson – was expanded over the years and can now be used in four different configurations. Shannonville is known as the Birthplace of Champions and many competitors who honed their skills at Shannonville have gone on to become champions on the world motorsport stage.
