Default Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport) Club Race + Videos

The club race weekend at the Mosport race track was a blast ! The new owners invested a lot in this beautiful venue and it shows. New paved run-off at turns 1 & 2 (which saved few cars that would have been totalled in the previous configuration), the new event centre and the pavement of the concrete patches were all great improvements.

It is sad that there was not as many racers as few years ago... we had a ton of track time and the organizers did an excellent job ! Thanks guys. Videos to come soon.

p.s. For the US guys who don't come to this legendary track because they think that crossing the Canadian border is not easy, this is absolutely NOT TRUE ! You should talk to your friends who did come to Canada and they will attest it.

Good to hear that the track is getting improved, T1 and 2 were pretty dangerous. Maybe next year if schedule permits.

Great PCA Club Race event combined with the BMWCCA Club Race. Thanks to Mike and all the UCR & BMW people. The added runoff in T2, T5, T9 are great additions. The "new" pavement made for even faster lap times...as if you need to go faster at Mosport. This is a Big Boy place, a World Class track that now looks like a World Class track. . nut up and put it on your schedule for next year.

My second trip to Mosport. Great track and great hosts. I find the Canadians very welcoming and glad to help you get faster. Clean racing and a must do!

Nice video. Thought you were going to get the RSR by the finish.

What type of helmet blower setup is that?
