We held our second race school this past weekend at Calabogie. I headed out early Friday in the Civic, which now sported 2 fresh tires so I could get some track time without fear of wearing out my 2016 tires. It turned out one of our students needed a car to use for the school as his had some last minute problems. As a result, I rented him my car for the weekend and didn't turn a single lap behind the wheel. He brought the car back in one piece (despite one spin) and now I have a better tire budget than I did before. It was fun seeing my car on track all weekend, duking it out with 911's and Mustang's.
There were plenty of fast cars, as there always are at Ontario events. I had two Porsche 911 GT3's in my group, and a super-rare Mercedes AMG GTR. The weather was fantastic. The only down side was that I was suffering a lot of back pain, from some sort of sprain.
The weather has really warmed up and it feels a lot more like summer than it has all year. There are more and more exotic cars on the road (although strangely, very few classic cars).
Here are some photos from Calabogie:
