<p>To anyone who has spent time at the historic <a href="http://ca.autoblog.com/tag/Mosport/">Mosport</a> International Raceway, turning into the main entrance of the track right now might be a bit of a shocker. Not only is the entrance tunnel missing, but so is the track!</p>
<p>The former home of the Canadian Grand Prix was acquired by <a href="http://ca.autoblog.com/2011/06/01/mosport-raceway-under-new-canadian-ownership-including-racer-ron/">Canadian Motorsports Ltd</a>. The group is led by Canadian racing legend <a href="http://ca.autoblog.com/tag/Ron+Fellows/">Ron Fellows</a> and is backed by Carlo Fidani of the Orlando Group and Allan Broughton of Trailcon Leasing. When the announcement was made, the group stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Over the next 18 months, they will look at all aspects of improving the facility to deliver the high calibre racing experience that fans, sponsors, teams and drivers want.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Beyond that initial press release, CMV has been very quiet about their plans for the track. With an 18 month plan though, it was clear that things would have to move quickly if they were to meet their objectives. Arriving at the track it becomes clear that the Orlando Group wields some pretty hefty construction muscle as the changes over the past couple of months are already impressive.</p>
<p>Check out the changes <a href="http://ca.autoblog.com/2011/11/16/new-tunnel-marks-the-beginning-of-a-new-era-for-mosport/#continued">after the jump</a>.</p>
<div id="continued">
<p><a href="http://ca.autoblog.com/photos/mosport-tunnel-construction/#photo-4612570" target="_blank"><img class="colorbox-1757"  id="vimage_4614541" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/ca.autoblog.com/media/2011/11/ggmosport-38-1321456332.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="420" vspace="4" /></a></p>
<p>The most obvious change is immediately visible from the road. A large section of track between turns nine and 10 is missing and the steel tube tunnel that we have all traveled through for decades is no more. Instead there is a canyon that has been carved out of the sandy soil.</p>
<p>We were there for the installation of the first couple of segments of the new tunnel. The depth of the chasm has the effect of making the new tunnel sections look deceivingly small in person. This is no small tunnel however, with 2 lanes each for vehicles and for pedestrians. At the lowest point, the tunnel will be 4.2 m (14.2&#8242;) which means that transporters will no longer have to wait for the track to close to enter.</p>
<p>The scale of the tunnel is truly massive. It is being constructed from 17 giant concrete arches that each weigh a whopping 37,194 kg. They are being lifted into place by the second largest crane in Canada, a gigantic 350 tonne machine.</p>
<p>The construction of the tunnel is not the only big change, though most of the other stuff could be considered extremely advanced landscaping.</p>
<p>In the past, the roads leading from the infield to the main tunnel could best be described as confusing. The earth has been pushed back and reshaped to allow for a proper roadway from the tunnel, with enough room for transporters to drive to the paddock area.</p>
<p>The no-man&#8217;s land between the upper and lower paddocks has been leveled, which allows space for two more large, paved paddock areas to accommodate the extra haulers that would come with some of the larger series expected at the track.</p>
<p>The hill along the north side of the front straight has been reshaped and leveled to allow for better fan sight lines and comfort.</p>
<p>Many of the goat paths throughout the property have been widened, graded and received proper drainage to make actual roads through the infield and outfield spectator areas.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most spectacular change to a spectator area is the infield side of turn three. The large, uneven, hill has been reshaped and has a much more gentle slope which will make for a fabulous viewing area. In fact, in some spots one can see turns one, two and three!</p>
<p>Over the coming months, there will certainly be more changes to come and we will do our best to keep our readers up to date on the progress.</p>
<p>First up will be our interview with Ron Fellows later this afternoon.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Kings Court Catering’s Green Mandate</strong></div>
<div>Kings Court Catering has just embarked on an ongoing quest to be more sustainable that will encompass four specific areas: Community, Environment, Heritage and Local Purchasing. We are committed to reduce waste, support local vendors, preserve local heritage and work closely with community organizations. We may never be perfect, but we are trying!</div>
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Waste:</span></strong></div>
<div>Kings Court Catering has begun separating cardboard, paper, bottles, cans and waste in an effort to reduce garbage disposal. We will also be introducing a worm compost system at the Teahouse Restaurant to cut back on waste that ends up in landfill and will produce valuable worm castings that can be used to enhance the gardens at Parkwood Estate.</div>
<div>We have begun using Compostable disposable dishes that significantly decrease the amount of time required to breakdown when composted. Our drop off meal combos will be delivered using less plastic serving pieces, as we are in the process of implementing the use of Recyclable Food grade cardboard platters and bowls. We also offer a ‘Green Essentials’ package that uses real china dishes, cutlery and linen napkins which are 100% reusable.</div>
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Local Foods and Suppliers:</span></strong></div>
<div>Local products and food suppliers are used whenever possible as a preference to support the local economy and local farmers. This will not only decrease carbon emissions, but also allow us to present fresher and better quality produce to our customers. Purchasing preference will be given to suppliers who use local vendors and practice good environmental standards</div>
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carbon Offsets:</span></strong></div>
<div>A carbon offset tax system will be put into place at the Teahouse Restaurant with credits used towards the purchase and installation of trees throughout our community. Our goal is 100 trees for the 100 days of summer. We are committed to plant 100 trees in conjunction with Valley’s 2000</div>
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Community Giving:</span></strong></div>
<div>We are proud to be part of a community-committed organization that continues to embrace local charitable efforts with various organizations including: Rotary Club of Bowmanville, Bethesda House and Community Living Oshawa/Clarington. Our executive chef’s ongoing participation with the Breakfast Club at Central Public School is an example of our pledge to support our local community</div>
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Additional Efforts:</span></strong></div>
<div>Our entire facility is currently lit by Compact Florescent Lighting (CFL) implemented through Veridian’s Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program.</div>
<div>During the printing process of our new corporate menu we decided to use Recycled paper products and vegetable dye ink to reduce potentially harmful chemicals into the atmosphere</div>
