Practice day update -
there were four closed wheel sessions, which meant a real mixed bag of =
cars, including big bore early mustangs, a few late model BMWs with =
wings, a variety of Porsches, and the usual small/medium bore vintage =
English, German, etc. Let=E2=80=99s say speeds varied widely, as did =
track knowledge.
The weather was the big event for the day - soaking wet until about 10 =
AM, then it flip-flopped from sun to showers seemingly about every 20 =
minutes. On balance, though, there were some mostly dry sessions and =
good learning experiences for this Mosport newbie.
The track is mostly awesome. Kind of feels like Watkins glen, except =
there are more rapid elevation changes and some really challenging =
corners. I say mostly because the pavement is surprisingly not great. =
Some areas that are pretty bumpy. Not enough to ruin the experience, =
but enough to notice. On balance, it=E2=80=99s one of the more fun =
tracks I=E2=80=99ve driven, and I suspect I=E2=80=99ll make the eight =
hour tow to do it again next year.
Already the usual breakage in the Triumph crowd. Someone spun and hit =
the wall ( no injuries but the car is unusable for the weekend), =
there=E2=80=99s a broken diff (TR4), a broken shock (Spitfire) and a =
broken transmission (spitfire) being swapped out as I write this.
Tomorrow, qualifying at 10:30 for most of us and a race in the =
afternoon.
