Cool! And it's nice to see the track "naked" like that!

They dont build them like Mosport any more, do they? Probably for good reason.

Naaaa!!! Crazy thought!

Awesome! Mosport: supporting flat out drovers since 1960!

Amazing on the last couple seconds to see the spectators so close on the last corner with little or no barriers.

If this is before the 1969 Can Am race, my father took me to see it.
I was pretty young but still recall the rolling thunder of all those 1000hp V8s.

Great clip, I think it is part of the Can Am DVD that came out @ 2 years ago. A great DVD if you've never seen it.

Thanks! (Born 10 years too late to realistically have seen cars from this era run in anger.)

Anyone contrasting this in his head with that Austin F1 track?

Yup ^. Can Am was too cool. I love seeing old tracks like this. Anyone ever see the movie Grand Prix? Some pretty cool scenes of the way Spa, Zandvort, and others used to be. I thought this one was good too.
