Nice. I think that is a great idea. I'm not able to make it this week but I'd definitely like to attend a DE day in the future. I've never been on the Grand Bend track. How dos the track compare to other similar tracks in the area such as Toronto Motorsports Park and Shannonville?

Thanks for the feedback! I would say the track is closer to TMP Cayuga; tight and technical with a nice straight away. Also a drag strip right beside it

It was a perfect day! Well run, great instruction and a bargain price. I will be signing up for the next one as well.
This was my first time on the Grand Bend track. It has an interesting layout, and the grass runoff makes it a nice safe training track.
I would highly recommend this to all.

How far is the Grand bend from Etobicoke area?

I've always had my interests on this track but never got around to go..

Thanks for the feedback & pictures on the event!
I will start a thread tomorrow when I'm in the office for our next track day on June 20th

For everyone's reference, the Grand Bend track is about 2.5 hours from Toronto
