Last weekend was spent at Mosport. I love this very fast track. They have paved a few spots that were in need and they even paved a large spot off track where there was grass after the famous Turn 2. Famous for being in the Top Ten of Motorsport's most challenging turns. Now you can use more track out at that spot.

The weekend was very wet. Sessions kept alternating between dry, damp and wet. So changing tires became annoying so I stop using the Nitto's and stuck with my new D-II's.

Those tires are great. I loved my Star Specs but I have a feeling I will love these even more. My wet sessions got faster and faster as the weekend progressed.
My car performed as expected, which is great!

This event was hosted by BMW CC Trillium from Toronto.

The weekend also saw a host of mishaps for others. A S2000 with wrong tires went on when the track was still damp. spun and crashed and the car was totaled. Another car, a recent Porsche Turbo also hit the wall when the track was wet, and crushed the front beyond repair. No one was injured, so that is what is important.

I have to say this: I love lapping in the rain.
