Goodwood Kartways is a multiple configuration karting centre located in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada.[1][2] The facility spans 20 acres of land and features just shy of one kilometre of racing surface with a 10-turn road course. Since 1994 the facility has been owned and operated by the Di Leo family, brothers Marco and Daniel, father Frank and sister Stefanie.[3][4]
History
The circuit is one of the oldest operating kart racing facilities in North America. It has been operational for over 60 years.[5] The race track has groomed Canadian race heroes such as Ron Fellows,[6] Paul Tracy,[7] and Daniel Morad[8]
Goodwood Kartways has been operated by several different groups but owned by Frank Di Leo. Currently Daniel and Marco Di Leo run operations.[9][10][11] Daniel and Marco [12] are accomplished kart racers.[13]
In 2003 The Sunoco Ron Fellows Championship Presented by Toronto Wheels was held at Goodwood Kartways where Daniel Di Leo competed in the senior competition.[14] In 2005[15] and again in 2007 [16] the facility hosted the fourth season opener of the series.
In 2009 the facility hosted the Canadian National Karting Championship. A multiple month expansion was performed to improve the quality of the facility to accommodate the karting community. The paddock area was expanded and increased by 50%, 1,200 square foot timing and scoring hut was built adjacent to the track and the track surface underwent reconditioning for a safety upgrade.[17]
In 2011 Goodwood Kartways hosted the season opener of the 2011 Eastern Canadian Karting Championship.[18]
In 2012 the facility underwent a major renovation. The track surface was completely repaved adding significant run off and a modern safety barrier for the first corner and extra run off as well as new curbing in several corners.[19]
In 2013 the facility again hosted the Canadian National Karting Championship.
Goodwood Kartways is the home of the non-profit organization Toronto Racing Association of Karters

The Goodwood Kartways/Intrepid Canada race team represents the facility at both National and International Championships like the Florida Winter Tour, Champion Ron Fellows Karting Challenge, Pfaff Kartsport Cup and Canadian National Championships.
