OPEN FOR INQUIRY: Ron Fellows Driving Experience
2026-06-15 | Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, 3233 Concession Rd 10, Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3K6, Canada
As in years past we are once again looking at doing the Ron Fellows Driving Experience for 2026. The tentative date is Monday June 15 2026.

For those that have attended before you know what a great time this is. For those that haven’t been or heard of this event here is a quick breakdown.

This is a 1-day event held at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville. You will have the opportunity to drive the Corvette Z06, Corvette Eray and Cadillac Blackwing CT5V and CT4V.

When the driving portion is done, if you feel up to it you can do a hot-lap ride with the pro drivers. The day is then ended with a very nice catered dinner and open bar. If you are going as a spouse only and not a driver obviously you don’t get to drive the cars, but you still spend the day trackside, can still do the hot lap with the pro driver and of course get the dinner.

If you would like to sign up or be on the waiting list please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
