The ARWS Italian Grand Prix is a race on the AutoReject World Series calendar, having been held every year since 2015 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve except for 2018, where the race was held at the Toronto Exhibition Place street circuit.

History

For the 2015 season, a desire to expand F1RWRS's presence in North America saw the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve sign a three-year deal to host the Canadian Grand Prix. Despite good racing, and a high standard of satisfaction with the venue and organisation, the F1RWRS Commission elected to move the race to Toronto for 2018. The Exhibition Place street circuit was set to host the Grand Prix for the next five years, but poor organisation, facilities, and many questionable incidents involving the layout of the circuit in a rained-out race led to the contract being terminated. In it's place, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve signed a new five year deal, with racing returning to the Montreal circuit for 2019
