Steve,

The CART race will be held on this track this year and has hosted the F1 race and the late 70s early 80s before the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Tremblant is a little slower than Mosport as for comparaison. Curve 1-2-3 is a real challenge and takes some real cohones to REALLY take it fast !

I was supposed to try out Mosport ... maybe this year.

BTW, there is a new circuit that opened last fall north west of Ottawa called Calabogie: http://www.calabogiemotorsports.com/

It should be interesting !

Yeah, the Soft 032Rs don't last very long, especially with such a heavy car. Used them on an 88 Audi Quattro 80 set-up for track. Would get about six or so track days out of them if I rotated them religiously. A lot of the guys in my HPD club use the RA1s for the same reasons.

Fantastic Vids by the way!
Thanks !

I had those 032R Soft because I also Autocross. They actually held very nicely that weekend but then again the surface was repaved only 2 years ago so it is smooth as a baby's butt !!

Nice thanks a lot. I'm definitely gonna consider doing this. Know anywhere I can get an SA2000+ helmet for cheap? I have an older helmet that they barely let me into the dragstrip with last year.

I had thought maybe the tires. It's noticeable more the faster you go.

I noticed you got over for him. Did you happen to notice if the wing had the active aero that will move to different points at different speeds? It looked kind of like an older model.

The whine is due to my R-Compound tires ... just look at the thread on those tires and you'll understand why !!!
