“In the end, it’s not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away” ― Shing Xiong
Today’s event truly represented this quote. After a year and a half since the initial groundbreaking, today was truly breathtaking to watch.  And as we conclude this significant day on October 27, 2015, only one thing comes to mind, thank you!
We’d like to start by thanking our valued customers for if it were not for all of you, we would not be successful at what we do and it is because of you that gave us the confidence to dream and plan such an amazing project such as this one.

The milestone event that occurred today was not a result of a days worth of hard work.  It is the result of many years of dreaming, planning, designing and engineering, the many months of preparation, the weeks of focusing on each and every detail to ensure nothing gets missed and an entire day of giving it our all.
Thank you to every single person who is and has been involved in the construction of the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. We are building something extremely special and I am truly grateful for the incredible team work and effort you all give every single day.
Sincerely,
Peter Trzewik
