If you are new to manual and/or new to the handling characteristics of the rx8, I recommend that you stay near the back.

Aside from that watch for my update soon midweek.the route will get tweaked for more right turns and will establish proper washroom break locations.

Just remember your torrent is unlikely to be able to handle the corner speeds. So may want to stay back.
You can be anywhere in thecruise line for the first half of the cruise. We will stop in washago before the start of the twisties

Hi there,

Thanks!

Dr. Roy wrong thread to post your message. There are many events at cayuga organized by different groups. Please start a new thread with your question. If you are in Toronto area join the Facebook gta rx8 club page!

Whiper just add your name to the list that's growing if you want to attend.

I will have firm info midweek concerning start times and route details.

Jordanito please don't try.... don't want you to be in the bushes....if your torrent is stock. There is no physically possible way your car can outhandle a rx8 in the corners. There is sand on the edges so if you're going too aggressive there is good chance you will catch the curbside sand
Slide into the trees and explode into a fireball immolating you and the car and end up on barrie's 6 pm news!

There is a reason why this is an rx8 club cruise and not just s cruise for car enthusiasts... however we extend the courtesy to those who own rx8s but some reason can't come in their 8 like yourself. But absolutely no random people that just wants to come to the cruise in another random vehicle.

There are other organizers for cruises like that.

Note: obviously we cannot prevent you from driving on the same road, at the same time. We just want to be clear about our intentions: it is an RX8 cruise, after all.

That said, I would figure anyone is welcome to attend the starting gathering, to meet the group, get info on the cruise, etc. Basically we'll figure it out from there.
