Our name comes from the SCCA Class Formula 440 racing cars, a category of mid-sized race cars that race primarily on the West Coast circuit in the United States. We liked them so much we brought them to Canada! F440 Racing Challenge is located in sunny Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada just off of highway 17. The facility is in a small community, Tsawwassen, which overlooks the Georgia Straight.
