The Indy Racing League intends to add road races to its schedule for 2005. Tony George thinks Toronto is a possibility for them.

This is only being discussed in the context of the IRL taking over the contract for the existing Molson Indy event at Exhibition Place. But if that option was not open to them, could they stage a race somewhere else? Whenever I go by Downsview Airport I think that would probably be a better place for it anyway. It's near the subway station, the Allen and 401. There are buildings on west side of the airport, including one used for indoor soccer, that could be the main area for spectators and grandstands. I think the airport is owned by Bombardier, who already sponsor the pagoda tower at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
