It doesn't sound like 2-wheelers will be welcomed there any time soon, but its nice to dream...?

Even on a sim, driving Ontario’s latest race circuit reveals its thoughtful design - Hagerty Media

While Canadian earth is being scooped and piled and graded, the circuit itself is being designed with care and precision across the pond in the U.K.

Oh, man. Turns 4 through 9 look almost like 2 through 7 at Suzuka (hard to tell how fast they are). And deciding how early to brake for 12 to set up 13 could be a fun challenge.

My only hope is they said similar things about no motorcycles at Calabogie and Area 27 before they got built, though I seem to recall that was more about runoff concerns. Here, it looks like trackdays wouldn't be lucrative enough with the type of clientele they're targeting.

It's also a shame that most of the best spectating spots have buildings on them, as this would make a heck of a track to watch CSBK or (dare to dream) WSBK...

can anyone from Oro confirm the "fleet of dumptrucks" and the "earth moving equipment" that are roaring away on site as stated ?

Just curious, do owners/organizers make more money off cars then bikes for renting the track. For me, track time is track time.
Is there something else there selling?

do you mean like corner workers, and ambulance/paramedic service ?

Its a country club for rich folks (airport next door) with condo suites.

I thought they were also focusing on it as an R&D facility for companies and schools needing a test track? Isn't that what the collection of bigger buildings adjacent is for?

Rode by it yesterday, looks like they are hard at work. Pretty much all of the property is torn up in some capacity and they had a bunch of machinery on site.
