Circut Racing, Road Racing, or Solo 1 (Time Attack, by classes) or Solo 2 (in parking lot, also Time Attack, by classes).
That's what I know, I could be wrong though. The car in the photo is a vehicle from Honda, runs by Honda engineer(s) in Solo 1? (again, something I heard, could be wrong again... :P)

I see what you are trying to understand its a bit complecated, this pic you have is open class production series but i remember this car, i think this car was at battle endless last year running with street modded to stock cars?no. anyways the class depends on alot, how many seats in the car, mods, and all to determine what class it fits into.
here's a link that might help you...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_car_racing
btw Nova dust is correct this is just plain circuit racing.

if you want something cheap and fun try either autoslalom (as it's called in Canada, Solo 2 in the states) or Solo Sprints (again the name in canada, in the USA it's Solo 1)
Autoslalom is a large paved area having a course laid out in pylons.
Solo Sprints is at the track (Shannonville, Cayuga, Mosport, Dunnville, Calabogie, to name the local tracks in Ontario)
the governing body of these sports and the rule books can be found at http://www.casc.on.ca as well as a forum that have experienced competitors that can help you get into it.
note: there are also lapping days where you can go .. if you are testing and tuning a setup they can be useful but tehre is no competition at that so I find that boring. (personally)
Also I noticed on the Mirrors those decals are for CASC-OR the governing body of motorsports in Ontario.

If you are looking into getting into Solosprints I recommend starting with your car as stock as possible.
Get a set of Hawk HP+ pads(not too agressive a bit better than stock), change brake fluid to Motul RBF 600 or ATE superblue and have a good set of street tires(azenis,Toyo T1R etc etc) and go out with an open mind and try to learn as much as possible. The reason you want to keep the car as stock as possible is that all the mods WILL hide mistakes. You need to develop the driver first and then when you think you are at the limit of the current setup then SLOWLY start modifying. You will learn ALOT more doing it this way trust me.
Solosprints has a school at Mosport DDT in May and you can learn a great deal from the instructors.
To get started in Solosprints you need to join one of the clubs(Hada, OMSC, TAC etc etc) I belong to Hada which is a great club with great people that will ALWAYS go out of their way to help you. Then you need to get your Class C racing license which you pay for and then your pretty much good to go.
The car pictured at the top is a Honda Canada car run by engineers as previously said....I race with them..Jon is a good guy and so are the others.
If you have any further questions or need more info you can go to www.casc.on.ca and there will be ALL the info you needed there.
