The Dunnville Air Park auto track when utilizing the infield section is a flat, 10 turn, 2.2 km course. The entire course is two lanes wide of pristine tarmac that widens out to nearly three lanes at the start/finish. Excellent tarmac, a wide roadway, sweeping corners and no obvious hazards on the course (e.g.- no curbs, trees, posts) will make for safe and fast racing!
