The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto is shifting gears and moving its tracks to Markham next year.
Wednesday’s announcement marks a major detour for the annual open-wheel auto race, colloquially known as the Honda Indy, which has been taking place on a street course through Toronto’s Exhibition Place in some form since 1986.
… Asked why the event is being moved north of Toronto, Jeff Atkinson, president of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham, said the city’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup hosting duties was a factor.
FIFA alone doesn’t account for this and the other factors provided seem the polite way out. Chow certainly doesn’t seem upset.
