I joined the BMW club (Trillium Chapter) which costs about $60 per year, and then as a member I can attend what they call their Advanced Driving Schools. It's on the full Mosport track and there are three per year - no BMW required, lots of BMWs of course, but many other makes as well.
So, who, what, when, how much to get onto mosport (or any track for that matter)?

A weekend costs about $450 and includes a Friday night get together, track sessions Saturday and Sunday and a dinner Saturday night ... track sessions are with an instructor and it's basically flat out with specified passing zones ... instructors also have their own sessions and they often invite "students" to ride with them. Last time out my instructor drove a race modified Porsche 944 Turbo ... and let's just say that when he asked how I was doing (end of straight coming up to turn 8/9 at 255 kph) I intended to say "fine" but my voice said "erk" - that's how much fun it was.
Not cheap - but very well organized and a lot of fun on an historic course - highly recommended.
