It was built in 1974 by John Nelson who was a motorcycle and racing enthusiast. He operated a motorcycle shop in Toronto and built the track to organize motorcycle racing events. The original Nelson track - named after Mr. Nelson - was expanded over the years and can now be used in four different configurations.

*Disclaimer: I am a noob who brought my husband here for his birthday and have never visited any other track I could compare.
I bought my husband a pass for the track, which he's never driven on before. I didn't realize he had only done drag racing and when he saw his gift, he was understandably a little overwhelmed - a helmet is recommended (which he didn't have), and I had no clue what the wear and tear really is on a car on the track, no matter what car - especially the tires.
I suggested we could just sit and watch the other cars and, in the meantime, talk to the office manager

Surprised my boyfriend with a 6 laps racetrack experience from Liberty Exotics.
We drove pretty far for this, as it was a 2 hour drive from Mississauga to Shannonville.
When we arrived we were told to meet at the Fabi Circuit Track which is located all the way at the back of another track.
Registration and payment took about 10 minutes. So arrive a bit early for this. They recommend you arrive at least 20 minutes for this.
I took advantage of the upgrade options. To drive the Lamborghini Huracan there was an upgrade fee of $129. And if you want a video of your experience it was an additional

This racetrack is a cool combination of curves and straightaways. It is very fun to drive at this track but there are far too many sharp corners mostly intended for motorcycles. It is fun to drive through twisties at first but lap after lap it gets tedious. But again i have blast ripping through the corners as you cannot find shapes like these on streets.
There is a couple of other tracks here, which I haven't driven on. But the one I reviewed is the main track. There are go karts and drag strips too.
