The Toyo Tires F1600 Championship is an open-wheel racing series based
in Ontario and sanctioned by the Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs - Ontario region.
The Toyo Tires F1600 Championship calendar consists of six weekends, with each event hosting three rounds.
The single-seater, open-wheel race cars in the championship are powered by one of two engine options - a four-cylinder, 1600-cc Ford engine or the 1.5-liter HPD Honda L15A7. Both motors produce approximately 120-horsepower. A mixture of European and North American chassis is used by competitors. Minimum vehicle weight is determined by the suspension design and ranges from 1050 to 1125-lbs. Teams are required to use a spec tire - the Toyo Proxes R888R. Drivers collect championship points in one of two groups.
The manufacture date for the individual car and not the model is used to determine the year split and whether a vehicle is categorized as F1600A or F1600B. The final weekend of the 2025 Toyo Tires F1600 Championship was held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park during the BEMC Late Summer Trophy Races weekend. Drivers collected points in three contests around the track’s ten-turn 2.459-mile road course.
