If you wanted open lapping just go with touge.

Check touge.ca

At least you won't be lapping with a bunch of vdubs. There are a few FR-S guys that run with touge.

If you are a beginner you can sit with someone in their car for a few laps until you get the hang of it. The guys are all friendly.

Hi brianc,

I am not the type who bash on other people organisation(I am not part of VVLC management, just been lapping with them for the last 3 years with toyota car and now the FRS), i am sure touge is a great club, just do not see the point for bashing(I do not thinks it give a good friendly vibe when somebody push one club and bash on the other).

The way I see it, the more lapping track time offer the less people will want to try racing on public road. So no point of denying somebody else offer for track time.

How sitting in somone else car(as passenger) will help you learn, people there do it the reverse way, you can ask someone with more experience to sit with you in your car for coaching(due to grouping beginner/inter./advan. not riding at the sametime)?

The point of lapping is to have a great time(there no timer nor agressive racing authorize) on the racing track, I do not see the problem with tracking other make of car or setup(street or full race).

On an other note, how much one car track time(# session/time per session) do you get during the open lapping day like touge organize?

When did I bash the VW lapping club? I was just commenting saying touge is another popular club that is GTA based.

My bad, I must be to sensible on wording, missinterpreted "If you wanted open lapping just go with touge" and "At least you won't be lapping with a bunch of vdubs", just to corrected your last sentence, almost half the guy there dont run VW at event.

nobody is offended

That being said, 90% of our club member are, indeed, VW/Audi/European car owner ( even if some of them have a Japanese racetrack ). The other 10% are, Subaru / honda / hyundai / Scion owners... Yes I did created an account, just to sort this thing out. I'm one of the co-manager of the VWLC.

Now that this is sort out, we have people from different play ground.. Different skill level, from complet green to ex Jon Nichols Cup rallye drivers...

Our events, are open to everybody with a cold head that wants to come on recreative lapping day !

Track days are 20 mins sessions, group assigned morning session. Afternoon they are mix'd session, only things that stays same through the day, the time per session and the max car allowed per session.









If you are interested, feel free to contact us via email: vwlc@hotmail.ca

If not, thanks for taking few minutes to read

You’d be surprised how liberal the definition of “straight” becomes when rules are not enforced.

I’ve seen 3-car-wide through turn 1 at shannonville. Yikes.

On official straight... Not on a straight portion of tarmac between 2 curves !

That being said, in the morning, the Advance group is tolerate some braking passing at DESIGNATED spots...

We highly discourage unsafe behavior and we won't ever say enough to any driver that feels unsafe if to their beliving some crazy pirates behaviors might show up on track, to come and see any manager and let us know situation X occured in spot Y with Z car... We will manage it with those people... We can't be everywhere on track and on side of it as well. I know you can understand

Our events are really recreative day, we have people doing 4-5 sessions on a 8-10h track day... Spending the rest of the day chatting around with our drivers and looking at all the setup !

Have nice weekend folks
