The 2008 World Solo 24 Hours of Adrenalin Championships returned to its roots in beautiful Canmore in Alberta, Canada. This is the site of the very first Solo Championship back in 1999 with Rishi Grewal and Chloe Lanthier winning their respective categories.
The town of Canmore has hosted an Adrenalin Series event since 1996 (2008 will mark the 13th annual event) as well as hosting World Cup events from 1998 to 2000.
This year's racecourse featured a figure eight layout which simplified the pitting.
