CANADIAN GRAND PRIX AT MOSPORT SPEEDWAY

8 YEARS

1967


	MOSPORT PARK IN BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO - CANADA WAS THE 
SITE OF 8 F1 GRAND PRIX RACES IN IT'S HISTORY.  BY THE SUMMER 
OF 1958, 450-ACRES WE NOW KNOW AS MOSPORT WAS PURCHASED.  
"MOSPORT LIMITED" WAS FOUNDED IN THE FALL OF 1958.  MOSPORT 
(TAKING THE LETTERS FROM - MOTOR SPORT) WAS THE NEW NAME
SELECTED.  TURNS 5A AND 5B KNOW PRESENTLY AS "MOSS CORNER" WERE 
SO NAMED AFTER THE 1960 VISIT STIRLING MOSS MADE TO THE TRACK 
UNDER IT'S DEVELOPMENT AT THE TIME AND MOSS SUGGESTED THAT THE 
SINGLE-RADIUS CAROUSEL HAIRPIN AT THE SOUTH END BE CHANGED TO 
A 90-DEGREE RIGHT FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER RIGHT LEADING ONTO THE 
BACK STRAIGHT.  TELLING THE DEVELOPERS OF THE MUCH GREATER
SHOW THIS WOULD GIVE THE SPECTATORS, HIS IDEA WAS ADOPTED AND 
PUT INTO PLACE AS SUCH.

	THE TRACK AT THE TIME COST $500,000.00 AND WAS READY 
FOR RACING BY MAY OF 1961.  THE TRACK AT 2.459 MILES WAS READY 
FOR THE NEXT 8 FORMULA ONE RACES TO START THERE 6 YEARS LATER.  
THE 1975 CANADIAN GRAND PRIX WAS NEVER HELD ON THE FORMULA ONE 
SCHEDULE.
