About the Track & Ross Bentley
The centerpiece of the Grand Tour is a private day at Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit with Ross Bentley, founder of Speed Secrets and one of the world’s most respected performance-driving coaches. Ross has spent decades helping everyone from track-day enthusiasts to championship-winning professionals improve their car control, consistency, and confidence.
The track, designed by Tilke Engineers & Architects, is a technical 2.3-kilometer circuit featuring 19 corners and 98 meters of elevation change, making it an ideal setting for meaningful driver development.
Participants will drive their own vehicles through a custom program of classroom instruction, Dynamic Zone exercises, coached track sessions, and driver debriefs.
