and select "Rick Bye shows the line at Mosport".

I'm hoping to be at Mosport 3 times this season!
Mosport looks like a fun track to drive. I love tracks with lots of elevation change. The guy I track with has been talking about Mosport so maybe we'll have to work it into the schedule next year. I didn't see how long it is (quick look admittedly). It must be at least two miles. Looks like a blast.

Here is the video I used to learn the line at Calabogie:

I ended up making some adjustments but it is a good start. I must have watched it two dozen times before going but still felt totally lost on my first session. I guess that's what a 3 mile track can do to you. What is challenging and fun about Calabogie (other than the speeds) is the number of blind turns and corners. You'll get a good idea from the video but a couple are more scary in real life (turns 15 & 16 for instance). They have lots of well placed corner workers to keep things under control.
