This weekend, September 20–21, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) will once again host one of Canada’s most recognisable athletes — though not in the sport that first made him a household name. Elvis Stojko, the three-time World Champion and two-time Olympic silver medallist in figure skating, is back on the track, competing in the Formula Prototype Challenge Canada in his Rilli Racing prepared Revolution 500SC.
A Racer’s Mindset
Stojko has been steadily carving out a new competitive identity in motorsport with Rilli Racing and Revolution, and CTMP has become a home track in that journey. Already familiar with its fast corners and demanding layout, he’s returning with more seat time, experience, and confidence. Last year Elvis impressed with his pace in Europe in a Revolution, even earning a podium finish and fastest lap on debut at Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
For Stojko, racing isn’t a side project — it’s a full commitment. He trains in karts through the winter, spends long hours testing setups, working closely with Rilli Racing team principle Steffen Rilli, and has invested heavily, both financially and personally, to chase this dream. He credits his figure skating background, discipline, visualisation, and mental toughness, as the foundation for his performance behind the wheel.
What to Watch This Weekend
Fans at CTMP will get a chance to see Stojko push his Revolution 500SC to the limit in practice sessions, qualifying, and the two races. His presence adds extra intrigue to the Formula Prototype Challenge grid, blending the precision of a world-class athlete with the raw demands of professional motorsport.
With his sights set on advancing to the IMSA sports car ranks, every lap counts as he works to prove himself against established drivers. For spectators, it’s not just about seeing cars at speed — it’s about witnessing a Canadian legend fearlessly embrace a second sporting career.
Why It Matters
Stojko’s return to CTMP is more than a local race appearance. It’s a milestone in a journey of reinvention, where the grit that earned him Olympic glory is now being tested on asphalt instead of ice. Whether he lands on the podium or not, fans can expect the same intensity and determination that defined his skating career — now in the roar of an engine instead of the edge of a skate.
