Motorsports remain very popular in eastern Canada, and especially in Quebec and Ontario. The next three years will bring fans the pleasure of seeing the return of cars that delivered thrilling races, with the main characteristic being that they were all similar.
The year 2026 marks the return of a highly-praised one-make series amongst motorsport enthusiasts. We are announcing today the launch of the Canada Challenge for the 2026 season.
The 2025-2026 Nissan Z models are entering competition in Class 1 of the Canada Challenge. They will be prepared by RH Motorsport, which has extensive experience in the field.
This new series will also welcome the Nissan Sentra models popularized in the eponymous series in recent years. These sedans will be grouped in Class 2 of the Canada Challenge.
Canada Challenge will be sanctioned and supported by ASN Canada.
In both classes, the one-make aspect remains the priority. The new series will be present in both Ontario and Quebec, with 4 weekends of competition on the 2026 calendar. A 5th date could also be added.
Victoria Day, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park: May 15-17, 2026
Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières: August 7-9, 2026
