The tradition of Honda Fan Friday presented by the Ontario Honda Dealers Association will return to the Honda Indy Toronto this Friday, July 15.

To kick off the exciting festival weekend, spectators can make a voluntary donation to Make-A-Wish Canada and receive free general admission on Friday. More than $820,000 has been raised during Honda Fan Friday and race weekend festivities since its inception. The Honda Canada Foundation will match dollar-for-dollar donations made by generous race fans during the Honda Indy Toronto.

The day’s schedule includes the first NTT INDYCAR SERIES practice starting at 2:30 p.m. (ET).

Off the track, Honda Canada will present an array of activations and features near the Turn 11 Honda pedestrian bridge during the weekend at Exhibition Place. The Honda World display will be a cornerstone of the festival experience creating a memorable weekend for the whole family.

Honda World features unique and interactive exhibits for the entire family, including an immersive experience with a tour of the brand’s core pillars. Race fans can take part in engaging demonstrations and interactive elements that highlight Honda’s contributions to safety and mobility innovation, protecting the environment, Canada’s manufacturing sector and ongoing support of communities across the country.

Fans can see the results of a Honda HR-V crash-test up close and watch as robots work alongside Honda manufacturing associates to build a model car. There also will be opportunities to learn about Honda’s environmental engineering through a digital “X-Ray” view of a hybrid vehicle and take a stroll through a scenic park setting to learn how the Honda Canada Foundation gives back to communities and organizations like Make-A-Wish.

Additional remote displays include “Project Integra,” plus the latest Honda Motorcycles and Power Equipment all on display. There will also be chances to win a Honda Civic and a Honda Power Equipment prize bundle.

All spectators are encouraged to use Toronto’s GO Lakeshore West Train to Exhibition Station for the easiest commute without the worry of traffic or parking at the Honda Indy Toronto. Go Transit has a special offer of general admission plus round-trip fare at hondaindy.com/GO. Children 12 and under are admitted free throughout the event when attending with a ticketed adult and can also ride Go Transit for free.
