On the subject of Mosport improvements...

How about the road course matching at least with the driver development pavement width...

Never noticed the difference in track width until fooling around on Google Earth.

And while we're at it; can we have a road pushed through from the bottom of the DDT to station 6 so I can drive there? Please.

Re: On the subject of Mosport improvements...

Not sure if your first comment is one of sarcasm, but the reason the Big Track appears narrower is because Google has overlayed their markings as a road in a different grey.

Re: On the subject of Mosport improvements...

Good point on the shades of grey.

The wooden guardrail posts must go however at the first opportunity. There are other things to improve which would require a lot of earth displacement.

Lots of people drive to C6, just need a little ground clearance

Re: On the subject of Mosport improvements...

It was my understanding that the big track is 40' wide all the way around; much better than a lot of other major tracks. Although it does seem to get more narrow tha faster you go!

The DDT track, after driving it, seems much narrower then the larger track. I would bet money the DDT track is not as wide as the large track.
