2001 was the fourth season for the Canadian ChampCar Lights series.
Unfortunately, organizers were no longer offering the same purse and media coverage that attracted competitors last year.
As a result, entries were below the expectations of Canadian ChampCar Lights’ staff.
The US Formula 3 championship was also challenged to draw entrants.
The two series combined their efforts to share race weekends and events.
The two championships kicks-off, on the May Victoria Day weekend, at Mosport International Raceway. The next rounds take place in June at Mosport during the CASCAR weekend. Then Canadian ChampCar Lights teams travel to Ste-Croix, Quebec, for an event without the Formula 3 contingent. At the end of July, the two series head south of the border to Watkins Glen International. Then it is back to Mosport as a support event for the American Le Mans Series. Both series compete in the first of two doubleheader weekends at Mosport. The races are run in conjunction with an Ontario Region amateur event. The next doubleheader takes place at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Quebec and is the finale for the Canadian ChampCar Lights series. The US Formula 3 championship ends its season in October at Watkins Glen. The Canadian ChampCar Lights and US Formula 3 cars offer very different performance. The Formula 3 machines are approximately fourteen-seconds a lap quicker than ChampCar Lights on a track like Mosport International Raceway.
Round two for the Canadian ChampCar Lights and US Formula 3 championships was held at Mosport International Raceway in conjunction with the CASCAR Castrol Super Series. Drivers would complete on the ten-turn 2.459-mile road course for fifteen laps.
