FRIENDS OF THE GRAND PRIX OF TORONTO

This Petition is to ensure that the Grand Prix will once again Grace the City of Toronto for 2009.

We would like Toronto’s Grand Prix Association, Mayor David Miller and Tony George and Kevin Kalkhovan of the Indy Racing League, to know that while the Grand Prix of Toronto has gone on hiatus for 2008, as fans we want our Grand Prix back.

We are asking that the city and business get behind our Festival of Speed and ensure that all be in place so that 2009 brings us back to the forefront of the best place to race in Canada. As fans we know that this event brings in large revenues to Toronto. Let’s keep Toronto a world-class city and let us not forget that the Grand Prix awards us a major part of that distinction. Toronto loves motorsports, Toronto loves the Grand Prix and it’s Festival of Speed.

Sign the petition here.
