For many, the holiday season is a positive one. Lots of food, sweets, and good times with close friends and family. But for too many people in Toronto, just feeding their families is a major concern. That’s why Demaras Racing has teamed up with Race Lab, Crazy Leo and Can-Jam Motorsports to host a charity event / food drive to help feed people in need.

The RALLY AGAINST HUNGER is a 2 round go karting tournament in support of the Daily Bread Food Bank. The event takes place on Sunday December 3rd 2023 at K1 Speed Toronto (75 Carl Hall Rd, Unit 9, Toronto, ON). It’s a 2-round go-kart racing tournament with a chance to win a ‘Rally Car Adventure’.

1st Place Bonus: SHOTGUN RIDE

Upon completion of the course in the school car, THE ‘RALLY AGAINST HUNGER’ event champ will take a breathtaking, ‘shotgun ride’ on an advanced rally track in a race car named ‘DISASTER’. This is the Production Class Subaru Impreza WRX STi that won the Canadian Rally Championship in 2017 and 2019, piloted by professional rally driver ‘Crazy’ Leo Urlichich. Most Race Lab attendees agree that a first-time shotgun ride beats skydiving on the adrenaline chart. No prerequisites or preparation needed!
