I'd love to run the FRS there but when you can run the track in a car that you can go 10/10ths regardless of what it is, it's just not the same when you run your own car.

I found this when we raced Mosport this past thanksgiving weekend, two days 7 hours of racing each day... Lots of fun, scary track in the rain. But when I opted to do some laps in the FRS with the ASE lapping club on the monday, it didn't really feel the same, still did about 2 dozen laps and had fun but you still knew in the back of your head you were not even close to trying to eek out the best time from the car....

YMMV.

either way both track are really fun to drive and watkins is only like a 5 hour drive from toronto.
