Ya the MCO pricing is cheaper but it's all relative to how much track time you will have. If they do 3x20 minute run groups this year I will probably not do the mco events as with that little time it will be hard to get good laps in. And relative to last year you are actually paying more per lapping time 1.67 per minute last year vs 1.79 per minute this year if it's the 3x20 min sessions. (pretty sure it was 350 last year)

Regular season events at 140 for a potential 2 hours could ld be the cheapest depending on how much of the time you use. The opening day at 60$ per 30 min would be the most expensive option of the season.

@Chico and I will be doing a 2 day HPDE events with the BMW Trillium club at Mosport for $450 - this includes dinner! Of course, you will need a hotel room. I'm staying in Peterborough for ($100 a night). They are holding 4 weekend HPDE events this summer.

Following @Slick instruction and since I wanna keep the car in one piece, I don't think Mosport is a place I should go to hahaha

I'm going to do at least 1 day at Mosport with Touge this year. I've been obligated to go by a few of my buddies. Haha

I think that the best cost:track-time ratio has been the BMW Trillium for a while now.

@Simon99 You could always register for iCar as well, it isn't too expensive, I think.
Obviously the track is smaller though

I would recommend being very cautious when lapping with touge. I did a lapping day with them when I first got the car and it was chaos. They did not require helmets and they did not know how to drive. This was my first lapping day ever band the people there would be slow through all the corners and when you got to the passing zone they would gun it with there M3 instead of letting you pass. I got frustrated and started passing them in the corners which was my bad but being new I didn't really know better. It's not as good of an environment as the events by the mco/1more lap.

I've heard that as well. It's also been attributed to an obvious reason that I won't get into. Don't wanna be called a racist, ya know.

I'll keep that in mind though lol.
Thanks Kenny
