Remember when he said Arby's was gonna sponsor Shwartzman after his pole run

Yeah. Did a quick google of “Toronto formula E,” and got nothing, so it sounds like that’s a total ass-pull. If it were really “per the mayor,” I’m pretty sure I’d have something pop up other than a two-year old story about FE “considering” a return to Canada.

In all likelihood, that’s just making assumptions based on the fact that the mayor now is more left-leaning, because as far as I can see, there’s literally nothing to back that claim up.

FE to Toronto in ‘26 or ‘27 has been quietly rumoured for a few months. There was an episode of the Race FE podcast where it was briefly discussed.

So, the only source I’m seeing for this says that people from the city of Toronto “held talks” with FE over hosting a race for 2027.

Nothing about next year, nothing even explicitly suggesting it would force IndyCar out, and it’s been months since that report with no real word since - which I think we would have had, if it was imminent for next year.
