The brief

F1inTO is Toronto’s Formula 1 watch party. We took it over and built it into the biggest race day in the city. The next step was never a bigger room. It was a reason to stay between races. GRID+CLUB is that step: F1inTO’s next chapter, under a new name, on gridclub.ca.

The insight

A race day lasts two hours. A season lasts nine months. The fans who fill the room every race want somewhere to belong in between, and partners want a year of attention, not an evening. A watch party is an event. A club is a property.

The work

One property, a new name

GRID+CLUB is not a second brand standing next to F1inTO. It is F1inTO’s next chapter: the same room, the same crew and the same race-day app, with a club built around them. The wordmark is a geometric stencil, cut in two bands with the top half set a stroke ahead of the bottom. Volt, black and Chakra Petch carry the rest of the kit.

A free door

The Grid Pass is the free tier: priority invites, prize drops and first dibs on race days, with room for paid tiers on top when the season calls for it.

Three letters, three brands

Race Drops for race week, GIRL+GRID for women in Toronto’s racing world and OFF+GRID for everything between race weekends. Each one has its own crowd and its own voice.

What members get

A race-day box office with tickets for every race weekend, seated, bar or walk-in. Prize drops in the room on race day. An album for every race, ready to share the morning after. A volunteer crew programme for the fans who want to run race day with us.

The engine underneath

Every race day still runs on the engine behind the F1inTO app: capture at the door, play for entries, a live draw, every fan scored and a purchasing model that predicts who will buy next, so the next race fills itself.

Where it stands

Set up, branded and ready, and not launched yet. The waitlist is open at gridclub.ca, and f1into.ca stays the front door until launch day.

One property. The next chapter.

GRID+CLUB is the new F1inTO.

Same room. Same crew. Same race-day noise. F1inTO became the biggest race day in Toronto, and GRID+CLUB is what comes next: a new name and a club built around that room, so the people who fill it every race have somewhere to belong between them.

The letters

Three letters. Three crews.

Pick your lane, or take all three. Every GRID+CLUB newsletter has its own crowd, its own voice and its own reason to open it.

  • Letter 01Race week

    RACEDROPS

    The week of every race: where to be, what is on and how to get in. Read it, then clear your weekend.

  • Letter 02Community

    A letter and a community for women in Toronto’s racing world. Find your people, then find them a seat on race day.

  • Letter 03Between races

    Everything between race weekends. The season does not stop when the flag drops, and neither do we.

What members get

Get in. Get more.

Tickets for every race weekend, a free pass that gets you in first, prize drops in the room, every race day in pictures and a crew to run it with. All of it lands at launch.

  1. 01 Race-day box office

    Tickets for every race weekend.

    Seated, bar or walk-in: pick how you watch, book it in a tap and skip the scramble on race day.

    • Seated: Your own seat, eyes on the big screen
    • Bar: Up at the bar, in the thick of it
    • Walk-in: Turn up, get in, find your crowd

  2. 02 Grid Pass

    Free. And first in.

    The free tier of the club. Priority invites, prize drops and first dibs on race days, for signing up.

  3. 03 Prize drops

    Be in the room. Be in the draw.

    Prize drops land live on race day, on the big screens, in front of everyone. You have to be there.

  4. 04 Season albums

    Find yourself the morning after.

    An album for every race, ready to share the morning after. Tag the crew, relive the finish.

  5. 05 The crew

    Run race day with us.

    The volunteer crew programme puts you on the inside: the door, the draws, the app, the room. Want in? Say so on the waitlist.

  6. Waitlist open

    First in line when the doors open.

    Put your name down at gridclub.ca. When GRID+CLUB launches, the list hears it first.
