Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Moves to Markham

Public ticket sales for the inaugural Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham open today at 10 a.m. ET online at hondaindy.com. Fans can now purchase 2-Day Reserved Grandstand seats and 2-Day General Admission tickets for the highly anticipated return of an iconic Ontario racing tradition, taking place Aug. 14-16 on a brand-new temporary circuit in Downtown Markham.

“It’s an exciting day to be opening up public ticket sales for the inaugural Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham,” said Jeff Atkinson, president of the event. “This new venue in Downtown Markham will offer expanded sightlines across multiple grandstand locations around the 12-turn track. Some great general admission vantage points are also in store for fans. We cannot wait to welcome everyone to this new festival site on August 14th!

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES will once again headline the race weekend, featuring Round 14 of 18 of its 2026 season on Aug. 16. This crucial late-season event is significant for championship contenders vying for the IndyCar Championship. Also participating is the popular NASCAR Canada Series, which will hold its second street race of the season on Aug. 15. The weekend’s action features doubleheaders for the USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire, the USF2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tire, and the Emzone Radical Cup Canada presented by Michelin, bringing the event’s total to eight high-stakes races.

Two-day tickets for the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham start at $90, with taxes included. Fans have a choice to purchase either reserved grandstand seating or to roam the grounds with general admission tickets.

There are four grandstand locations to choose from, each positioned at high-intensity racing points:

Pit Lane Grandstand: Located within the Unionville GO parking lot, this is a premier view of the unique, double-sided pit lane and the final dash to the checkered flag.

Turn 3 Grandstand: Positioned outside Turn 3 and located in a central location of the festival site, fans will witness the field charging from Turn 2 into this 90-degree left-hand turn. This grandstand is also the closest to Thunder Alley, where food, merchandise and display activations will be.

Remington Turn 5 Grandstand: Spectators will see late braking and passing into the hairpin before accelerating down the high-speed, long back straight.

Turn 8 Grandstand: This grandstand provides a vantage point of the technical left-hand turn as drivers accelerate toward the sweeping right-hander of Turn 9.

The new festival site features expanded general admission areas, allowing fans to watch the racing action from five different racing series around the 12-turn, 3.52-kilometre (2.19-mile) temporary street circuit.

In addition to two-day tickets, Pit and Paddock Passes are available for $230 and $85, respectively. A Pit Pass provides access to the pit lane during practice and qualifying sessions, giving fans an up-close view of the pit crews at work. A Paddock Pass offers entry to the Aviva IndyCar Paddock, allowing fans into the area where the drivers, teams and cars are before the on-track action.

Single-day Reserved Grandstand and General Admission tickets will be available for purchase closer to the event weekend.
