The 981 Porsche Cayman S has been the longest-standing member in our fleet of vehicles. It has always been a reliable mainstay here at Circuit.

Every day drivers are familiar with various fuel grades; 87, 89, 91, and even 93 maybe. You may even know that the numbers correspond to the fuels ‘Octane’ rating, but what is Octane? And why is a higher ‘Octane’ perceived as better?
Boasting 385 horsepower and a very healthy 384 lb-ft of torque, the C43 is definitely not shy and perhaps one of our most powerful vehicles in the fleet. In signature Mercedes-Benz form, its traditional styling is both elegant and contemporary. However, add the letters AMG to the badge and what you’ll find is unexpected and dynamic track potential.
In last month’s newsletter, we shared our thoughts about this year’s upcoming Formula 1 season. With F1 representing the height of open-wheeled racing, this month we thought we would pay homage to where it often all began…karting. Karting started in 1956 in California, with the first Karting Federation founded in 1957 in the USA. It didn’t take long after that to become popular in Europe. By the 1970’s, it was established around the world, leading to international competitions and championships. It turned out that kart racing was the best preparation for ‘moving up the ladder’ to race in bigger and faster open-wheel racing series.
Under the umbrella of the GAIN group, Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit undoubtedly benefits from the opportunity to feature a range of performance vehicles as part of the circuit fleet. This month we’d like to pay homage to one of our most reliable and beautiful fleet members, the Alfa Romeo 4C!

The Porsche Centre Victoria team, sponsored by the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit, along with the help and support from the teams at Pfaff Motorsports has helped our driver and Circuit Member Pieter Baljet pursue an incredible challenge at the 2017 Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Challenge Canada.
On Sunday, March 12th, Porsche Centre Victoria hosted a Customer Appreciation Event at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. For many customers, this was the first time they had the opportunity to experience the Circuit.

We have had a very exciting week at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. We completed our off-road course and hosted the 2017 MINI Countryman Product Presentation Launch for MINI Canada and MINI representatives from across the nation.
The line of Giulia’s on the road set an emotional scene of romance for this North American rebooted brand. Both courses showcased this hot-blooded Italian car with luxury touring comfort while giving us the sports performance that is part of the Alfa Romeo genome.
