Porsche Club Driver Education
The Upper Canada Region of the Porsche Club was once again at Mosport for the first in a series of Driver Education events.
Here are some of the pictures I took – CLICK HERE or on the images above.
The ‘New’ Mosport
The Porsche Club Upper Canada Region held its first Driver Education this past weekend at the newly named Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, (formerly Mosp0rt International Raceway). Not only will we need to get used to the new name, we’ll need to get used to the new track. During the weekend and I’m sure, all this week, teams of workers have been and will be scrambling to get the facilities ready for the upcoming Victoria Day Speedfest Weekend presented by Castrol Edge.

Porsche Club Open House
This year’s Porsche Club Open House was held at the Markham Fairgrouns. It was a bit of a haul from Stoney creek, but weel worth the drive. The turn out was great – and that was before 10 o’clock when the event was scheduled to open. More people arrived as the day progressed.

Porsche Club Driving School
It wasn’t as warm as two weeks ago, due in part to a bit of bite in the wind, but at least the sun was shining which provided some psychological warmth.
This was the second Introductory Driving School hosted by the Porsche Club. Unfortunately, I could not stay all day.

Porsche Club on Track
Unlike previous years when the instructors braved the last remnants of winter weather while the student drivers awaited their turn seated in nice warm cars, this year’s first Porsche Club Introductory Driving School (IDS) coughed up a pleasant surprise. Along with a mild winter, came an equally unseasonal warm spring. The ever popular IDS takes place twice a year at the Driver Development Track at Mosport, and I heard murmurs of perhaps a third school next spring. Regardless, these schools provide new and experienced drivers alike, and opportunity to experience the dynamics of their vehicles at relatively calm speeds, in a controlled environment with one-on-one guidance from qualified instructors.
Here are some of the pictures I took at the event on Saturday. Enjoy!
