Brandt is joining the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham as a founding partner and the official track build sponsor.
The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham is proud to announce a partnership with Brandt Tractor Ltd., naming the company a founding partner and the official track build sponsor of the inaugural event in Downtown Markham set for August 14-16.
“The Markham Indy is exactly the kind of event Brandt is proud to support,” said Matt Semple, Brandt’s Senior Vice President of Marketing. “We’re excited to play a role in bringing this world-class event to life while demonstrating the quality and performance that Brandt delivers every day.”
The multi-year agreement creates a long-term association between Brandt and Green Savoree Toronto ULC, the owner and operator of the new race event, both on and off the track.
As part of the multi-year deal, Brandt will supply a specialized fleet of heavy machinery and material-handling equipment from John Deere, Peterbilt and Skyjack, including tractors, forklifts, telehandlers, loaders, wheeled excavators, scissor lifts, UTVs and light towers to help construct the temporary street circuit and other key infrastructure.
This equipment will be essential to the massive logistical undertaking of transforming Markham’s city streets into a world-class motorsport venue, where it will be used to place 1,915 concrete blocks, erect the 4-meter-tall metal fencing for the safety barrier system, and assemble four new grandstands and premium hospitality suites.
“Brandt is a vital, new partner to help us complete the critical process of the track build of this exciting new circuit from the ground up,” said Jeff Atkinson, President of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham.
“Having strong, local partners on board makes the connection to the region even more special. We are excited to work together on the inaugural event in 2026 and for many years to come as we build a lasting, impactful legacy in Downtown Markham.”
Track construction and repaving of the road surface are already underway, with the installation of the concrete block and fencing around the 12-turn, 3.52-km circuit scheduled to begin aout one month before race weekend.
