About this event
Join us on Monday July 1, 2019 (Canada Day) for VCMC Track Day #3 at Mission Raceway Park hosted by VCMC Motorsport Club. Mission Raceway is a 9-turn, 2 km long road racing circuit.
VCMC, continues to offer great value to track day participants by providing tons of seat time, instruction for novices, lunch & refreshments, and professional track marshals to keep the event safe, fun, and efficient.
This event is being run in cooperation with CACC Time Attack. 1 of the 4 heats will be timed competition and the registration for it will be processed on a separate event page to verify licensing and other details. The non timed part of the event will proceed as normal with 3 heats: Novice, Relaxed/Low Intermediate and Advanced/High Intermediate. Please pick the appropriate group for your level of experience.
Our track events are open to drivers of various experience levels. Drivers are grouped by experience to ensure that all the drivers and vehicles in each session are evenly matched. First timers and new novices attend an orientation session at the start of the day and are accompanied by senior drivers on sighting laps until they are ready to drive solo. We cap our lapping day entries so that group sizes remain manageable and everyone gets plenty of track time.
