Conversion?? Was at Summit (main) Raceway. I can't stand the other "go cart" tracks there. Sorry you missed it.

How is the corvette to drive? (having only driven the Solstace, the TDI and the SFR a few times...)

Is Mosport an included track?

Mosport is an extra track. It's a nice rendition, too.

I know there is a list on iRacing of what comes with it, most likely in the sign up area somewhere (or I could ask a new guy!).

Gonna be a $25 race for one guy I know, but hey, he's got it (and he likes Mosport!)..

I'm working late most nights this week, but I'll try to get home in time for tomorrow's race. Mosport is one of the best tracks for the C6R, and should make for a good race.

To answer the question of what the C6R is like to drive, it's pretty much a constant exercise in managing rear grip, IMO - especially out of bumpy or low speed turns like the hairpin at the top of the hill at Mosport. And, unlike many of the other road cars in the service, it's a front engine, RWD tin-top that responds pretty intuitively to most control inputs (at least, it does to those of us here who aren't used to driving rear-engine cars!)

So it isn't total carnage Wednesday night as at least 3 of us have never seen Mosport before (to say nothing of C6R inexperience) i'm putting up a 3 hour practice tonight with a short "fun race" of about 15 minutes duration. Feel free to pop on, same PW.

I usually wait until there's 6 things I want to buy and try to maximize the volume discount.
