Similar commercial to the one for Gratton: If Gratton is the most technical
track I've driven, then Mosport is the most exciting! Just about every
corner is flat out, and the hairpin (Moss' corner) is fast and sets you up
for a drag-race up the back straight that really proves the car! Carroll
Smith has said that Mosport is the track that really separates the men from
the boys, turn two is not only a rush every time you take it but is
considered one of the ten best corners in all of motorsports, and Keke
Rosberg (if memory serves) has called the turn four-five complex the most
difficult that he ever drove.
This track is high speed, so it really rewards drivers of cars like Formula
Vee's when they get it right. Conservation of velocity is everything, as is
not putting on the brakes!
Finally, Mosport hosted the first Indycar race in Canada, was home to the F1
Grand Prix, and is a current IMSA and TransAm track.
June 6, 7, 8 - It's time to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE at MOSPORT!!!!!
