Default Mosport club race Aug 3-5

Come on up this summer and drive Turn 2

If you haven't made it to Mosport (currently rechristened 'Canadian Tire Motorsport Park' or CTMP) then you absolutely need to cross it off your bucket list. It's old school, fast, flowing, big elevation changes... in the same family as Road Atlanta and Circuit Tremblant.

We are working on menu options and beer, but obviously main attraction remains the mantastic experience of racing at Mosport.

Did I mention Canadian beer?

For those of you scared of cross-border logistics, fear not. Keep in mind that Canadian PCA racers cross the border for every event on the schedule... except Mosport.

I posted this thread recently about Carnets which make the border a piece of cake. If you're towing your own race car with your own tow vehicle then a Carnet isn't necessary (but still can make things easier). If you're transporting someone else's race car, or a shop is transporting your car then I'd suggest it. Carnets are good for 18 months so the small investment can cover you for next year's race in addition to any DEs you might do at Calabogie or Tremblant.

As always, I can help arrange coaching with local pro talent for Thursday test & tune and/or Friday practice.

Feel free to PM me with any questions. Happy to help.

Mosport is demanding, amazing, disquieting, astonishing, distressing, brilliant, disturbing, incredible, frightening, sensational, fearsome, fantastic, menacing, fabulous, formidable, frightful, remarkable, intimidating, awesome, imposing, magnificent, daunting, marvelous, fierce, phenomenal, intense, wondrous, vicious...and then it rains.

Do it before they put you in the ground.

Or it snows...

Turn 2 just might be the most glorious corner of all time, ever. Get it perfect, and the racing gods high five you all the way down to turn 5.

Love it!

And don't worry, Mosport it very easy on brakes and tires, so it's a cheap race to run.

If you watched the Weather Tech IMSA race today at Mosport, here’s what you heard from the pros:

“Bucket list track”
“Daunting high-speed corners”
“Massive elevation changes”
"Fantastic Circuit”
“One of the Best Anywhere”
"Challenging, we love coming here”

Registration is open for the Club Race at CTMP (Mosport) at clubreg.org.
It’s a 4-day event with a Test N Tune on Thursday; PCA & BMWCCA Club Racing Friday thru Sunday and Advanced Solo Lapping all 4 days.
Definitely a bucket list track and a world class facility. Join us!
