I’ll be there at Mosport again this Tuesday…it’s with Apex, they are a little more expensive, but for MANY reasons they are worth it. I’d recommend it if you want a proper introduction to Mosport, they run a first-rate course and training, or especially if you just want to run in the red group with no BS.
1.) you don’t have to worry about POS cars clogging the course and not giving wave by’s - the higher track price pretty much ensures a certain income bracket who bring a certain maturity and responsibility (I know this isn’t an absolute truth in all cases, but it seems to work here).
2.) lunch is usually awesome, free drinks all day.
3.) Coaches are free and always available if you want them (not mandatory as far as I have experienced - yet - it’s just too much of a distraction for me on the track)
4.) The hardware out there is silly. In the red group last time there was a Viper ACR, a completely retarded track-prepped 996TT that must have had 6-700 HP judging by his straight-line speeds, a ZR-1 and R8-V10 dicing, both doing laps under 1:35. There was a beautiful track-prepped 930 which would pick up it’s inside front wheel in many turns, giving it the appearance of doing a wheelstand out of the corners. Oh, then Pfaff throws the GT3 cup car out on the course, and when they warned me “hey watch out for the closing speed”, I couldn’t believe how CRAZY fast he appeared in my mirror at the end of the straight going into turn 8.
5.) The people who come are just plain nice. I had a hard time telling people how slow the NSX is on the straight compared to their hardware, they just kept coming up and reminiscing how awesome the car was 20 years ago and still is. And these are guys who then saunter off to their 997.2 GT3 or F430.
