Right up there with Calabogie and Tremblant. I haven't gone to many tracks yet but will be at Mosport in early June.

The Glen is my favorite track. (Though I haven't been to any of the Canadian tracks... yet!) I have over 30 days up there and always manage to find different approaches to many of the corners. For example, my approach to Turn 6 changed completely a few weeks ago when I was up there for 3 days. I used to go in way earlier than I did this time around and would use the camber near the apex. But going in WAY later (like, insanely late) lets you use both the camber and the downward slope to gain a good amount more exit speed.
Also, about that brake duct covering thingy... my theory on why it's here is that without it road grime does get sucked in a bit more and makes a racket in the fender well. I noticed hearing rocks clanking around a lot more once it was removed. Obviously a non-issue to remove it...
