We start this race, with a quote, from the narration by Brian Kreisky, in the videotape you are about to see.
“The maple leaf. Proud symbol of one of the world’s largest countries, greets the World Endurance Championship as it crosses new frontiers. For the first time, North America is hosting the 200 mile per hour supercars of the spectacular WEC, greeting the racers who have made the long transatlantic haul, to the heat of a Canadian summer.”
