So as I mentioned in the other thread, technically we weren't allowed to take pics or video at the BMW Advanced Driver Training event I attended at Mosport this weekend ... but I managed a couple with my cell phone.
The event was this:
Friday evening: dinner and a slow track ride.
Saturday: 4 classroom sessions, 4 track sessions, 2 skid pad sessions, and 2 sessions with instructor in their car - each 1/2 hour long.
Sunday: same as Saturday but faster LOL.
My car in lower paddock. LOL - the only other Ford was a 5.0 Mustang (80's vintage) owned by a local Bowmanville guy. He was all motor, no chassis and no brakes - deadly slow - I passed a lot of cars but him I was able to lap.

Most of the cars there were BMW 3-Series, M3s, 5-series, one older 6-series and one new 6-Series ... there was also this bad boy in my run group (one of 2).

In addition to the above mentioned metail there was some really interesting cars there ... a couple of plain Vettes, two Z06, two WRX, a couple of Cooper S, a number of Porsche 911 types, and a couple of Carrera S and Carrera 4 ... and this collection ...

Yup ... that's a GT40 and it wasn't stock - according to the owner it was up to more than 700 hp,
And if you go really fast and do it without causing the instructor to shiite his pants ... this is what they give for the final three runs on Sunday ... and yes, this is mine !!
