Shannonville Motorsport Park

Shannonville Motorsport Park is a motorsport road course circuit in Canada. It is located 15 km (9.3 mi) east of Belleville, Ontario, roughly midway between Toronto and Montreal, Quebec, near Highway 401 and along the former Provincial Highway 2. It has many configurations, and its tight layout with much run-off space makes it a very good venue for race testing. Many race teams from Toronto and Montreal test at Shannonville in preparation for events held on street circuits, as the Shannonville raceway shares a lot of the same characteristics. The raceway first started off as a dirt oval, with bedrock for a front straight. Much later, the 1.800 km (1.118 mi) "Nelson" circuit was built, named after the late John Nelson, owner of the circuit at the time. From there, the 2.230 km (1.386 mi) "Fabi" circuit was built north of the Nelson, and the two were linked to form the 4.030 km (2.504 mi), 14-corner "Long Track". The Fabi circuit was named after Bertrand Fabi, a young Canadian driver who died while testing a Formula Three car in England. The Fabi circuit has a long backstraight that now doubles as a drag strip. A link was then made after the first corner on the Nelson circuit to the seventh corner of the Long Circuit, creating the 2.470 km (1.535 mi) "Pro Circuit" layout. Currently, the Canadian Touring Car Championship makes an annual visit to the facility, as well as auto-raci
