A 2.459-mile, 10-turn road racing course which hosted the F1 Canadian GP in 1967, 1969, and from 1971-1977. It currently hosts the American Le Mans Series' Grand Prix of Mosport: a 2 hour 45 minute sports car race. It also has a karting development track, and a Cascar race on the oval.

The first Indy race held in Canada was the 1967 Telegram Trophy Race at Mosport which was won by Bobby Unser, his 1st career Indy victory.

It was formely called Mosport Park, a contraction of the words "motor" and "sport", and came from the enterprise formed to build the track.

In 2011 The Complex was bought by Canadian Motorsports Ventures Ltd.

Canadian Motorsport Ventures Ltd., established by famed Canadian racer Ron Fellows, transportation industry leader, Alan Boughton, and real-estate developer Carlo Fidani, today announced the company’s purchase of Mosport International Raceway. Taking over from the Panoz Motor Sports Group, the new owners will build on Mosport’s storied history and respected reputation to create new and exciting opportunities for race fans, corporate partners and drivers on an international scale.
