Arrow September 1st Mosport DDT lapping event (Monday labour day long weekend)-ww.Touge.ca

2008 13rd Touge.ca Track day - September 1st Mosport DDT Lapping event
Sept 1st (Monday, Labour day long weekend) - Mosport DDT Lapping event - (Driver Development Track)

hi All drivers,

We had a great success in last year and this year track lapping events. Now 2008hot season arrives, our 3rd lapping @ Mosport DDT is coming on September 1st.



For this DDT lapping, it will be a great opportunity for newbies/beginners to bring your rides out (even your car is stock and running all season tires), we will have a longer warmup period on September 1st, and special setup for the newbies group.

September 1st Mosport DDT signup/details here

Feel free to email info@Touge.ca for any questions. Or kindly visit www.Touge.ca for all details and lapping schedule.

For last year photos, please check out Touge.ca "Media" section.:thumbsup:

HMMMMM....this looks very tempting, I could hit it up on the way home from my cottage.

But the other one in Shannonville seems more worth the cost at $160 for a whole day? Any thoughts?

It seems more feasible to me to go to this one. Mosport is a lot closer and I don't wanna spend the entire day lapping, unless I was getting free fuel, lol. The while day lapping event seems like it could become a 300 dollar day.

I have been to one of Kevin's events at DDT it was fun and well organized.
For those that want to go to the big track, Kensai has an event on the same day 350$ for the whole day (about 3.5 hours) I will be attending and one other 8 should be there. I will stop by DDT during lunch.

Just from looking at the track maps, Mosport has high speed definitely.

From other posts, Shannonville is much easier to see and learn on (no elevation changes, no negative camber, no blind corners). Average speed at Mosport is something like 160kmh. Shannonville, depending on the track, is 100kmh or so.

Al, whats your opinion? You still on vacation?

Shannonville just seems like it's going to be a 300+ dollar day. Can you really track your daily driver all day?

I too will be paying today, looking forward to this event.
