Definitely going!

Thanks for the heads up.

I was at Mosport (short track) a few weeks ago. I so wanted on the Grand Prix track.

Do you think I'll need a brake upgrade? It was fine on the short track, but you're not getting up to the same kinds of speeds. Would a fluid change be enough for now? This is my daily driver, and I'm a little reluctant on changing to race pads with more bite. I am planning on upgrading to a Wilwood kit (their is one almost done), but I definitely won't have it by the 25th.

I have been at mosport GP twice with the stock brakes, you will be fine with them.

Good to see some fellow FRS fans coming out to our track days, it's the last one for the year. We also got in the new JVC addiction should you want to record your track day.

JVC Addiction? Is that a data logger/camera type thing for the track? (insert noob joke here)
I was going to get a GoPro. Would be real sweet to have data too though. I would love something that would give me lap times on the fly.
Any suggestions out there?

Something like what was used in this video.

Big bucks?

Not a big deal as I'm a novice driver, and I shouldn't pay any attention to lap time, just improving technique. But... Super cool to watch later!

Bump


This is a call out to Sal, Demandred, Mountainside, Harbinger of darkness, Hero, Scottish Jedi, FRbaxterS, and anyone else I'm forgetting.

Come on guys and girls, this will be the last chance to wring out your FR-S/BRZ on the GP track until next year.

Yes it's $300, but that half the price of Timmies for a month. And you get more of a rush!

Take a day off work (you have sick days to use right). Grab your helmet and let's have some fun!
