Deffinately 2.5-3 hours in the seat as scheduled. Usually these days turn out people getting tired towards the end and the hardcore people stay out on the track longer and the “schedule” falls to the wayside.

[quote=“Viper966,post:6,topic:27317"”] yikes 2 hours of seat time? goodbye tires and pads [/quote] Just think about how my wallet feels after doing a 3 hour enduro… You can always finish early or skip a session. Or you can practice taking it smooth and managing your equipment. A BMW should not be hard on the tires (a great suspenion and good weight distribution). ---

[quote=“Viper966,post:13,topic:27317"”] im doing an event in june here, any idea on runoff room here? [http://www.trillium-bmwclub.ca/site/page.jsp?DriverTraining](http://www.trillium-bmwclub.ca/site/page.jsp?DriverTraining) [/quote] That course is the GP course, not the RDT. As for runoff: ![http://www.mosport.com/graphics/trackmap.gif](http://www.mosport.com/graphics/trackmap.gif) Turn one is tight with walls on either side. Turn 2 to the right has some runoff with a tire wall, but it is downhill (steep). If you go off here, chances are you will seriously damage something. The inside of turn 2 has a small strip of gravel and a wall. Turn 3 has a large gravel trap to the outside (as seen in the picture on the link you posted). Turn 4 is similar to turn 3 with space. Turn 5a-c, there is a heavy gravel trap on the outside, but the inside had a lot of vegetation last I remember. They were supposed to clear it out some more, so it could be a bit better. The rest of the track has ample runoff until you exit Turn 9 to turn 10, which is very tight with walls on both sides. ---
