Which new eastern US track should I add to my 2018 season?
I am beginning to plan my 2018 track season. Every year I will always do Road Atlanta and VIR, as I have fallen in love with both of those courses, but I also want to try out some new spots as well. This year I am going to Barber for the first time (already promised a track buddy I would make it down this season), but I was thinking about a few others too. As some of these are kind of far from me, I can realistically only pick one to add to my schedule. For anyone who has been to these tracks, can you help me figure out which one is most worth the journey? Thanks! (I am also open to suggestions not on this list, I just found events already up on motorsportsreg.com for these tracks that align with my current schedule)

Cool, thanks! Hey, I remember you from m3forum - I will be back over there soon, as I am getting closer and closer to buying my E46 M3 to turn into a dedicated track car. I had a 2-year plan to get the E46, but it has turned into a "this year" plan lol

That is very kind of you, thanks! I will definitely be in touch. I have heard a lot of great things about AMP, plus with it being so close... it kind of makes sense for me to check it out.

Watkins Glen is awesome, but may also want to consider Calabogie! |

Finally had a second to check out Calabogie online. That track looks amazing!! Wow, that one is for sure going on the long-term list. I had never even heard of it before, thanks! It would be a super cool trip too, as I have only been to the western part of Canada. Sweet!

That looks like a fun track, really pretty scenery too. And that new repaved surface... that looks amazing!! HUGE thank you for sharing that video. I am still at work, long days this week, and watching that just put the hugest smile on my face. God, those engine + tire sounds are truly therapeutic to me lol

And, if its not too far Mont Tremblant. We make the trek to WGI every year and its definitely one of my favorites. WGI, Mosport and Mont Tremblant are all old school type tracks and were all designed by the same person.

These videos are driving me crazy! Lol, in a good way I just miss the track I guess. It's supposed to snow here tonight, and all I can think about is getting my 2018 season underway. |

I'm doing Road Atlanta end of Feb with Chin. Will be my first time there. I am really looking forward to it. Then I'll drop my car off at VIR and run with NASA mid Atlantic for the rest of season and hit WGI and LRP as well.

Watkins Glen is well worth the trip. I will also say, though its really far for you, Club Motorsports was amazing last year. I only ran it for 2 days but had a hell of a time, its one of the best flowing tracks out there and some really, really fast parts to it. I also personally love Lime Rock as its very tricky to be really fast, one small mistake and your lap is done.

I ran AMP last year with their "Hurricane Relief Parade Laps." What I thought was going to be effectively a sight-seeing 10 minute run turned out to be a 7/10ths speed, hour-long run. Super fun track with a lot of rapid elevation change. I feel like we may have briefly discussed my trip there at our lunch after the Dragon Run? I'm just on the other (east) side of the lake from AMP, so let me know if you guys plan on making it over; I wouldn't mind heading out! It's maybe a 30 minute drive there and probably about the same to get to Road Atlanta. |
