I do not understand would the point would be. You'll have the best car they can offer and can probably source equal or better instruction locally. So what are they offering that you do not have? Or is it just the most convenient way to drive that particular track?

Guys like Kees Nierop, James Gue and Dane Cameron instruct at these events. Maybe you should read up on what these guys have done. I don't know many drivers in Canada who regularly race in ALMS, Grand-Am etc that instruct locally. The point of this school in particular is to learn real car control skills - stuff that you wouldn't learn at a BMW club or Porsche event. Thats why these classes are SCCA accredited and club courses aren't. |

BTW, you probably can get coaching from Kees Nierop locally - he does lessons outside of Porsche school I've heard. |

^ we are doing the masters course. It is the pre-requisite to the masters plus course. And it's better than doing locally cause we will be driving someone else's manual GT3s.

No love for Cayuga/toronto motorsports park? I plan on going there lots cuz its CHEAP lol.
Very interested in Mosport days as well if you can swing a group rate there or something. I tried asking last year and they gave me the cold shoulder. Hate dealing with Apex & the track said deal with Apex I also really want to see that new GT3 U GUYZ!

We're working on seeing what we can do for some days at Mosport. The new DDT may end up being pretty cool from what we've seen. Almost the same length as the big track, with more turns! We'll definitely be doing days up at Calabogie - nothing beats CMP! As for the GT3, which one you talking about? There will be at least three new ones among the group, and that's not even including Max's who's car is almost here! |

They redid the DDT? I'd go to that if it is indeed longer, last time I was there it was fun but way too short/slow for M3s and GT3s! So far I just knew you and Jay were getting one, who else has the bug?

CMP hasn't announced their dates, so we're going to be figuring out who can do when in the next month or so. With Chumpcar on the horizon, we may not get out there as much as we like. The new DDT is an entirely new course. They ripped up all of the old track, and paved a new 1.6 mile course. It's the same length as the big track, and it looks like it's gonna be a faster but still retain its technical nature. We're hoping to do 3-4 days there, and if its as fun as it looks, we may get out there a lot more in the coming years. Here's the new track layout. As for GT3, Jaypod and I are both getting 991 GT3. I'm hoping to do ED at the end of March, but my build got delayed. Ahsanh also got a 997.2 GT3 (I'm actually pretty jealous - his car is nice!), and I know at least one other guy who's still shopping around for one. Last edited by sawzall; 01-10-2014 at 03:59 PM.. |

The new DDT looks great! I'd totally go multiple times. Any track time is good track time Glad they kept that super tight switchback at the bottom, that was my favourite corner.

One day is not enough at the Glen…you need both. You will hate yourself if you have to leave after the first day.

That's a great price, cheaper than CMP!

CMP dates have been posted! Looks like there are fewer days this year at CMP than ever and I can already see a few conflicts with our race schedule for the year.
If you're interested in getting some days, please PM me so we can make group pricing and arrangements. |
