Default Mosport Track

Report on track renno's. new large tunnel , we can all leave now any time. Two new bridges over track, one at turn 2, and one at the hump on the back straight. New pavement at between turns 9 and 10, a smooth dip before turn in. More grip though. Sight lines improved for the fans. more lower pit space. Tested , monday there, 5 cars . No pictures/no time.

See you at the Glen Ernie and thanks again for not ramming me at Limerock (and see you at Cups next week Wayneo!).

Less Glen talk, more Mosport!

Does anyone have any video in the new iteration? I'm back there in two weeks with UCR.

Just returned from there, but unfortunately no video.....took me a few laps to visually get used to the new bridge over T2--at first it felt like the entry to the turn was narrower but after a bit it was OK.

They also put asphalt close to the entry of T10 which has now settled so there's a dip there.....in the rain today it filled up with water pretty quickly. Hope they fill it....lots more paved runoff room for T9 now too.

Other than that, pretty much status quo track-wise......but man, did they open everything up for parking! Lots everywhere, and the new tunnel is really impressive (as in HUGE).

We were testing there tuesday, new tunnel is perfect. Track seem to be better now, turn 9 patch seem to less grippy.
Managed some low 1:23 laps.
