In the wake of cross-border restrictions, the popular event has been off the calendar in both 2020 and 2021, but now finally makes a welcome return.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>For Felix Rosenqvist, Toronto is lined with bright memories. The Swede won both races at the track in feeder series Indy Lights in 2016, and finished fifth on his first (and only) INDYCAR outing at the venue in 2019.<br>\u00a0<br>Adding to the incentive, Rosenqvist enters the weekend in determined mood looking for retaliation, having been forced to retire from the latest race at Mid-Ohio with technical issues when running third.<br><em>\u00a0<br>\u201cIt will be a lot of fun returning to Toronto, which is one of my favourite races,\u201d\u00a0<strong>says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s been a while since we last raced there, and I think the entire paddock is fond of this event. I have a strong record there and we also have some unfinished business from Mid-Ohio to take care of.\u201d<\/em><br>\u00a0<br>The first of five consecutive summer races, Toronto is immediately followed on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule by a double-header event at Iowa Speedway next weekend, and a further two back-to-back meetings in Indianapolis and Nashville.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Action at Exhibition Place gets underway with opening practice on Friday.
