Took my RS to Autobahn, Road America, and Mosport
#12
Full course autobahn is a fun track. The elevation change in t1 is a lot of fun at mosport espically coming down the left hand crest into the sharp 90* right handers.

Mosport!
MJ - Great seeing you and getting caught up at Mosport! It was also great to meet your wonderful wife after hearing of her for such a long time. On this trip you drove two of my favorite adrenaline-inducing tracks, Road America and Mosport. I'm glad you finally made it to Canada; Mosport is the best E-Ticket ride I've been on, awesome circuit! IMHO, you didn't miss anything by skipping Calabogie, especially in a fast car like yours; interesting and technically challenging with designed "mind-games" (e.g., three turns where camber is worse the nearer you get to the apex), it isn't as fast or flowing as the others.
However, the next time you'll have to make it to Mont Tremblant; hands down, best track destination in North America: like Mosport, also a former F1 circuit; lots of elevation change, including high speed elevation change corners; 5 minutes from the hotels; great food and amenities in the village; lake to swim in 50 feet from the paddock; great road and mountain biking trails; mountain with 2,000' of elevation gain to hike or take gondola to top; big lake for swimming, boating or fishing; great golf courses; and if you attend in mid-July, the 10 day International Festival du Blues with free live music from 1:00-10:00pm every day! Take your wife once, and she will probably make the reservations for the following year!
For my annual northern road trip in 2013 I'll be heading back to Road America; in 2014 my regular travel buddies and I are planning to link events at Watkins Glen and LCMT, with a week or so on the water in the 1000 Islands region in between. Two tracks you need to drive - I'll keep you posted on the details via email.

PS I need to engage on the RL thread...

It's tough but I would have to say Watkins glen, mosport, and VIR. Road America, Sebring and road atlanta would be the next 3
