The Toronto race has been an annual event running through the Exhibition grounds since 1986. The event has not been on the schedule only twice since starting — last year and in 2008 following the reunification of Champ Car and the Indy Racing League. Racing legend Bobby Rahal won the inaugural race in 1986, then called the Molson Indy. It was called the Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto when the Molson sponsorship ended in 2007 and then was renamed the Honda Indy upon its return in 2009. Toronto's Paul Tracy is the lone Canadian to have won the race, taking the checkered flag in 1993 and 2003. At the peak of its popularity, the Toronto event attracted more than 70,000 fans on race day in the early 2000s.
