The focus of the day was to raise money for charity by offering the general public passenger laps in either a race car, super car or classic car in exchange for a set donation.
Tom from TGM was going to be there with a customer and friend he races with to represent one of the many race cars giving passenger rides. I had wanted to sit in with Tom on track for a while so today was a perfect opportunity.
There were a large variety of cars on display and out on track however as usual, I didn't take many pictures :/
I caught Tom early on in the day and jumped in with him for one of the morning sessions. Drivers were only supposed to do 3 laps and then come in, however Tom stretched this out 'a bit' for me :)
As expected from being on the road with him previously, he is an outstanding driver. He was dancing the car around Corum and was perfectly balancing the car around the circuit.
The DC5 they had brought was Joe's car which had Nitron NTR Race coilovers (same as mine) and Brembo race calipers with 2 piece race discs.
The car felt so stable around the circuit and turned on a dime around Montreal, testament to the coilovers and Tom's setup of course. What impressed me the most however were the brakes.
OMG! Tom was braking (as expected) very late and the brakes just stopped the car like it had hit a brick wall. I was seriously impressed that I am now considering asking Tom to send back my as of yet unfitted F50 calipers (the disks are the same).
