Maybe the "C" in the 2nd "Continental" (Tires).

Thanks! That may be it.

How's that, Bob? A bit to the right of the Big C.

Good advice here, especially from Stacy. The one to really watch is Turn 1. Everyone pays attention to 2 & 4. The turns you really need to watch are the ones that don't nercessarily grab your attention. Turn 1 is not a big deal unless you don't respect it. Then it is a real pecker because there is nowhere to go, and you'll get there really fast! It is the one turn that gets me uptight there. Once you learn the intricacies of 2 & 4, they are not really that tough.

Turn 1 will bite you if you don't take it seriously. Mosport not techincal? High speed tracks have a technicality all their own, friend! Enjoy!

There you go! I knew it was something from the alphabet...I am so focused on Mid-Ohio this weekend that i couldn't get HONDA out of my brain. See you there John....

Remember we are talking about a 400hp 993tt here, so these turns will stay plenty interesting for a looooong time.

That picture reminds me of how steep the hills at T2 and T4 really are! A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to drive my Truck on the Mosport track counter race at the end of the day(I was the Beer Wagon, providing relief to the crew cleaning up an oil spill the entire length of the back straight), with 38D and Dr. Jupeman along for the ride. Looking up those hills and driving up them gave me a new appreciation for them. (relax, no beer was spilled!).

Awesome info guys. I tend to start slow and then work up the speed, and it sounds lke this is a good stragegy for Mosport. That pic is perfect I will keep my eye out for it when I get there, if I didn't know better I would say the camera is tilted.

Just remember, that's exactly the view of 4 that you don't want to have!!

The camera is tilted a bit, the bridge is level, John's coming down the hill there, and then he'll fire off to the right of the picture (Left turn). If you get a chance, walk the track. It only takes about 30-40 minutes, and it will give you a real sense of the terrain and the surface.

Where your TT will shine is on the back straight, it's all uphill and you stay in it forever.

Um, original post is 9 yrs old......still, great useful info as I go there alot. Compared to Mid-O, which in club course guise is roughly the same length (2.4 mi), my 121hp stock car is 5-6 seconds a lap faster. T1,2,4,and 8 are bonafide 100mph corners

Here's a current tip, the 2016 Club Race at Mosport is scheduled for August 5, 6 and 7. It's a great event at a big boy track, Nut up and show up.

Mosport is by far one of favorite tracks. i did 31-32's in 997.2 RS my one and only time there. my home track is road atlanta and when i got to Mosport, it felt like i was doing turn 12 over and over

gbuff

Not a racer but I did do the ASL that weekend a few years ago--had a blast!

I like to have one car width on my right side going under the bridge at 4. Then I start turn in as soon as I see the corner of the tirewall on my right. Awesome track!

Me too
Time for me to go back.
