The 2022 edition of Motorama was pushed back six weeks to avoid the lingering restrictions related to the pandemic. One downside of this change was that the show took place the same weekend that several area tracks were hosting their opening nights or pre-season testing sessions, thereby forcing them to miss the show.

But with the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented by eBay Motors back on its traditional ‘start of March Break’ weekend, it feels like old times again in the Inside Track Motorsport News Racing Zone, presented by Stoneridge Specialty Insurance.

Motorama takes place March 10, 11 & 12 at The International Centre, across from Toronto’s Pearson Airport.

For the 2023 edition of Canada’s biggest indoor auto enthusiast and racing show, there are no such conflicts, ...
