Just returned from my first lapping session ever at Calabogie Motorsports Park. Pretty great way to spend an afternoon! Will definitely be doing the full day sessions next year when they start up again. All the usual suspects were there, with about 6 or 8 FRSes, lots of 3 series and an assortment of Golfs. Mine handled the day pretty well, with minimal brake fade, although they smelled pretty rich after each session.

That FRS above was from my instructor, and he whips in it. Had a tune, wider wheels and tires and coilovers and man, did it move. I'd never been in an FRS before but it felt so nicely balanced.

Definitely enjoyed it, and now I just need to figure out what to improve on my car for next time!

Driving an FRS is on my bucket list, maybe owning one.

..And so is driving on Calabogie MP.

Track driving was also on my list. Glad I went for it! Look up the MCO events next summer and join in!

Nice! I'm glad I got rid of the Escape. It wouldn't interest me for a long.
