2022 RECAP

 

Despite a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, our comeback was a great success! Last year's show marked our 20th Year Anniversary and we celebrated with over 15,000 attendees and 350+ car competitors.

 

Excited attendees gathered inside the Metro Toronto Convention Centre lobby, where the first 100 guests were given a complimentary T-shirt, courtesy of our Title Sponsor, Vossen Wheels.

 

Once inside the MTCC, attendees were greeted with an awe-inspiring 185,000 sq/ft filled with top- notch show cars and a variety of exhibitors. They also had the opportunity to participate in onsite activities and enjoy live entertainment from the center stage.

 

Special guest star actor Chad Lindberg from Fast and The Furious was also onsite to meet fans!

 

The evening ended with the award ceremony, where over 100 awards and $4000 in cash prizes were distributed among the Top Tuners, making for a memorable and unforgettable ending to the day..
