Default Wednesday, September 1st ... Special Day at Mosport ... Check it out here!

Kyle Marchelli is hosting a special day at Mosport ... Kyle is a big Corvette fan, and an amazing driver in the ALMS ... Would be great if a bunch of the Vette crew showed up at this event!




Mark

Here are the details! ...



You are invited to a special track day. Kyle Marcelli, Canada’s leading sports car racer will take time out from his busy ALMS schedule of testing and racing to host this event. And Kyle will have his car with him; the number 89 LeMans Prototype Challenge car will be available for close inspection and photography.

But this is not a static day. Mosport’s 2.5 miles of rolling hills and 10 fast turns will be available to drive in your car. This is a driver’s education and lapping day. These are not parade laps, this will be an opportunity for you to get professional driver coaching from Kyle and his instructor team. The instructor crew is experienced with many years of racing/driver training.

You will enjoy a light breakfast at the track, a catered lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

Your day will consist of a short classroom session about the physics of what the car is doing and why. Then you will be on track in your own car with one of the pro divers coaching you from the passenger seat. These intense learning/driving sessions will continue all day with suitable breaks for you and your car to refocus.

Should you desire, Kyle or one of our instructors will take you for a lap or two in your car. A professional photographer will be on hand to create a photo disc of the day for you at no charge. Get photos of you, Kyle and his race car as a wonderful memento of the day.

To ensure your safety we will have a team of Mosport corner marshals and an EMS team on hand.
Join us for a fun day of learning, meeting and greeting other sports car fans and pro drivers.

Spaces for this track day are limited, and at $350, we expect to sell out quickly. Please call or email to make your reservations. A 50% deposit will be required to lock in your spot.

If you are joining us for Kyle’s Track Day and you would like to see the ALMS race as well, on Sunday, August 29 at Mosport, we can offer you discounted tickets to the event.

Join us to meet Kyle and see what has made him the rising star of sports car racing in North America.
