Grand Bend Motorplex Modified

The Grand Bend Motorplex (GBM) is a racing complex consisting of a quarter-mile drag strip, a quarter-mile oval track with high banking, and a 1.39-mile (2.23-km) multi-purpose road course compatible with racecars, motorcycles, and go-karts. GBM sits on 407 acres of agricultural lands near the shores of Lake Huron in Grand Bend, Ontario, on a 2 hours ride north from Detroit, Michigan. The track surface tends to be wet most of the year, as there is abundant rainfall during spring, summer, and autumn. Winters are cold and snowy, so the racing season lasts from April to October. 

The layout of the technical track in GBM looks like a semi-triangle when seen from above: three main sectors joint by tight angle corners and 10+ additional turns of different characteristics.  A small section of the GBM drag strip runs on the northern side of the road course, interrupted by turns five, six, seven, and eight, that form a chicane to control speed. The raceway runs clockwise on flat terrain, reaching an average speed of 73 mph (117 km/h). The Grand Bend Motorplex is a highly technical track receiving visitors from around the area and hosting some local racing series like the IHRA Nitro Jam or the Canadian Superbike Series.
