The trick is to turn it in to a sweeper, use momentum to your advantage. If you approach it as two corners you're selling yourself short.

Interesting... so pretend its turn 3 with a tight exit despite what your gut is telling you?

I know it's way late, but I had lost the videos since I had tucked them in a folder on the root of my laptop, and formatted while forgetting about them. I managed to recover them not long ago and finally made a video of the presentations. Sorry I couldn't capture more, can only do so much recording on a 2GB card...

I know it might be a little early. . . . but is this an annual thing???
I go every year regardless, But I sure like the idea of hanging out with a big crew of Mazda folks!
Kudos to the people who started the talk with Mazda Canada for this last year!

Not the least bit likely. But if you want to be part of a meet at the track we can do that. We had over 50 people at our campsite last year, even had a dj spinning lol

Just got my invite for this year, another pair of free tickets!

Dear Mazda Motorsports Enthusiast,

If you were planning to drive your Mazda to the Grand Prix of Mosport weekend, we’d love for you to join us!!!

Mazda Canada is excited to announce that we will be sponsoring a Mazda Corral, for owners to gather and watch Mazda vehicles participate in a number of races over the course of the weekend.

We have a limited number of Mazda Corral tickets available and we wanted to offer them to you first!

Mazda Corral tickets include:
· Four-day admission to the Grand Prix of Mosport
· Access to a private tented area and parking in Corner Eight - Friday to Sunday
· “Chalk talk" with Playboy MX-5 Cup drivers and tech staff
· Mazda’s Motorsports Development team will discuss Mazda’s new SKYACTIV Clean Diesel engine and the plans for its use in global racing properties.
· prizes exclusive to Mazda Corral participants
· A chance to drive your Mazda on a parade lap and see first-hand the improvements to this legendary track
· Sunday BBQ Lunch

Simply RSVP to this email before July 4th, 2012 and include a photo of your Mazda vehicle (so that we can start building our Mazda attendee gallery), and we will provide you with two free Mazda Corral tickets to the Grand Prix of Mosport.

DATES: July 19 - 22, 2012

LOCATION:
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada

We look forward to seeing you again.

Regards,

Mazda Canada Team
