VARAC Vintage Racing Festival 2003 Press Release

The Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada (VARAC) will host the 2003 Vintage Racing Festival on June 27, 28 and 29, 2003 at Mosport International Raceway, Ontario. As many as 250 vintage race cars representing a half century of competition are expected to compete on Mosports famed 2.459 mile circuit.

Each year VARAC chooses a manufacturer to honour and for the 2003 Festival Triumph has been selected as the Featured Marque. Production of the TR series of sports cars began in 1953 with the TR2 and became one of the mainstays of motoring competition around the world, finding enthusiastic acceptance in North America. VARAC will honour the TRIUMPH marque, welcoming and encouraging TRIUMPHs of all descriptions from around the world.

Mosport is a world class racing facility, having hosted Formula 1, Can-Am, Indy cars, USAC, World Endurance, Trans-Am, Atlantic Series and of course TRIUMPHs too. Steeped in motor racing history, all of the great name drivers and teams since the 1960's have competed here. The course is now owned by Panoz Motorsport and has been completely repaved, widened and made safer without detracting from the historic layout or the challenging racing line.

The VARAC Festival provides good value, reasonable registration fees, LOTS OF TRACK TIME, friendly people, great social events and we are told over and over again, more fun and excitement per dollar than any other North American event.

More information about VARAC (a Vintage Motorsport Council member club) and the 2003 Festival is available at our website http//www.varac.ca or you can contact VARAC president Bob DeShane directly at lbmc@nexicom.net. We look forward to making new friends and welcoming back our old ones. Plan NOW to join VARAC at Mosport next June.
