We're going to need our passports for this trip.

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES and the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team make the trip up to Canada to race on the streets of Toronto.

Round 13 of the 17-race calendar is the last street-course event of the season, and the team looks to continue its momentuum and climb up the championship standings across all cars.

Sunday's 85-lap race at Exhibition Place is the final event before the break for the Summer Olympics taking place in Paris. The race will be broadcasted on NBC's Peacock streaming service.

Read what Pato O'Ward, Nolan Siegel, Alexander Rossi and Team Principal Gavin Ward before the weekend's activities begin.

"Toronto historically hasn't been our best weekend, so I'm determined to create some good memories there. The last time I feel like I had a good race there was in 2018 in INDY NXT. It's just a matter of time before we have a strong weekend in Toronto, so I'm looking forward to getting out there in this wonderful city."

"I'm feeling good going into this weekend in Toronto. It's one of my favorite tracks and weekends of the year. I've been racing here since my days in the junior series and know the track well, so it's always nice to go to somewhere familiar. Iowa was a really good weekend, so we're going to keep building on that and see if we can get a new best result with the No. 6 SmartStop Arrow McLaren Chevrolet team."

"I’m really excited to get up to Toronto for our final street course race of the year. We've had a lot of pace the past few events, but have struggled to get things to go our way. This weekend will be all about execution as we compete for the last round before the summer break."

Gavin Ward, Team Principal, Arrow McLaren, said:

"We close out this stretch of four races in three weekends with our last street race of the season in Toronto, a place I love coming back to. It's always special getting to race in the place you grew up in, and we're excited that we'll have such a strong partner presence with us this weekend. We've strung together some strong results as of late, but as always, there's more to find. Our aim is to continue improving each and every race weekend. As long as we do that, we'll continue to find ourselves fighting for the top spot on the podium."
