NTT Indycar Series is back and it's going to race in a classic street circuit once again!

In fact, this is a comeback. Sunday there will be the Honda Indy Toronto through the streets of the Exhibition Place at Toronto, Canada.

The race has been always con the calendar since 1986, with an exception for 2008. CART  and Champ Car World Series has sanctioned the event from 1986 to 2007. Then, the Indycar Series sanctioning body decided to come back in Canada for 2009 season. The race is back on the calendar after 2 years of race cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. 

Michael Andretti is the most successful driver ever at Toronto, with an astonishing number of 7 wins conquered in 16 starts! Scott Dixon, Will Power and Dario Franchitti are tied with just 3 wins, followed from local hero Paul Tracy with 2 wins, tied with Sébastien Bourdais, Al Unser Jr. and Josef Newgarden.

11 other drivers won once here at Toronto, one of them was Alex Zanardi, tied with drivers like Bobby Rahal, Emerson Fittipaldi or Adrian Fernandez, who conquered his first win back in 1996 under tragic circumstances.

In fact, a massive crash with 4 laps to go between Jeff Krosnoff, Stefan Johansson, Emerson Fittipaldi and Eddie Lawson, killed instantly Krosnoff when he was 31 and a marshall.

This is the third oldest race of the calendar tied with Mid-Ohio, behind the Indy 500, it's the second longest running street race behind the Long Beach GP.

However, the Exhibition Place has a very long history about racing, with over 100 years of exhibitions and automotive events. From 1952 to 1966 they were hosted stock car events, and in 1958 it was held a NASCAR Cup Series race, the Jim Mideon 500. It was the race debut of the NASCAR legend "The King" Richard Petty, 7 times NASCAR Cup Series champion and 200 wins from 1958 to 1992. The race has been won by his father Lee Petty.
