Title: A new, VERY GOOD venue, for testing rally cars
Post by CrazyLeo on 11/02/18 at 13:52:46

I’m happy to share, that we have a new, VERY GOOD venue, where we can test rally cars.

The venue is located off Highway 401, 3 hours from Toronto, just under 3 hours from Montreal and 1 hour 45 mins from Otta wa.

The venue is a LARGE quarry, with roads in it. The total length of the stage, that we can run through the quarry is 4.5 – 5.5 kms.

This is NOT Millhaven Quarry, which we regularly use for public Race Lab events, this is another, much larger venue, that we’ve used in the last 2 years for the military training, and now we are ready to offer rally car testing there.

There is A LOT of elevation changes, jumps and big jumps are possible :)

When testing on roads, co-driver is essential to be able to push, because roads are hard to memorize. In this venue 70-80% of the corners are visible or easy to remember, therefore it is possible to push without having your race co-driver present.

The surface is not very hard packed, which makes this a great place to test and setup for rallies like Tall Pines, with soft surfaces.

Soft gravel tires are recommended (unless it will snow last minute), and tire wear will not be high.

The surface is smooth enough for us to run street cars there during military events, so it’s definitely not rough for rally cars.

We are running a test day there on Sunday November 11th, with free access for recce on Saturday November 10th. If you wish to come for Sunday only, recce opportunity will be available on Sunday also.

Pricing is the same as at public Race Lab events (which means you’re getting a bigger venue for the price of a smaller one):
4 hours of unlimited lapping is CAD $299 + 20% for a caged car (because insurance and more road repairs) = 337.87 + tax = $381.79

8 hours of unlimited lapping is CAD $499 + 20% for a caged car (because insurance and more road repairs) = $598.80 + tax = $676.64

Private coaching (if you wish to get any) prices with me, in a rally car: $200 + tax per hour.

Hanging out, spectating, taking pictures, videos etc. – free :)
