learning to drive!

Hey guys! I was at Mosport because I wanted to learn how to drive on a track properly.... Here are some pics. This course was take so that I may use the Z4M Coupe to full capacity and that is why it is posted here.... So - bear with me eh?
I started with car 17 and I spun it breaking some bearings.... They gave me 3 after that....

I got to do a 20 minute lapping session at an Audi Driver Event a few years ago - I still drool when I think about that session. It's absolutely mind altering to watch your front wheels going through the apex of a turn

I'm jealous

I understand that Enfields only embarrassing moment was when they caught him with a welding kit and some sheet metal trying to fab up a roof.

LOL... those can be exciting, for sure.

How would you rate the Bridgestone school?
IIRC, the cars are the Reynard F2000?

Karting is still pretty fun. I'm halfway through my first season of racing and I'm loving it.

After 50 laps in the Kart I needed to stop and let my head and stomach get back in sync....pulls a lot of G's in that tiny twisty track!
