    CTMP MOSPORT PARK

    Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport Park and Mosport International Raceway) is a multi-track motorsport venue located north of Bowmanville in Clarington, Ontario, Canada, approximately 75 kilometers (47 miles) east of Toronto. The facility features a 3.957 km (2.459 mi), 10-turn road course; a 2.9 km (1.8 mi) advance driver and race driver training facility with a 0.402 km (0.250 mi) skid pad (Driver Development Centre) and a 1.5 km (0.93 mi) kart track (Mosport Karting Centre Inc., previously "Mosport Kartways"). The name "Mosport", a portmanteau of Motor Sport, came from the enterprise formed to build the track.
    History
    [​IMG]
    Moss Corner – Turn 5a and 5b.

    Tunnel, Whites Corner – Turn 10 and Event Centre.
    The circuit was the second purpose-built road race course in Canada after Westwood Motorsport Park in Coquitlam, British Columbia, succeeding Edenvale (Stayner, Ontario), Port Albert, Ontario's Green Acres (ex-British Commonwealth Air Training Plan), and Nanticoke, Ontario's Harewood Acres (ex-British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Number One Bombing and Gunnery School), all airport circuits, as Ontario racing venues.

    The track was designed and built in the late 1950s. The first race to be held on the track was a local event organized by the Oakville Light Car Club in June 1961. Shortly thereafter, on June 25, the venue held its first major race, the Player's 200, a sports car race bringing drivers from the world over to rural Ontario. Stirling Moss won the two-heat event in a Lotus 19. Second was Joakim Bonnier with Olivier Gendebien third. The proposed hairpin was expanded into two discrete corners, to be of greater challenge to the drivers and more interesting for the spectators, at his suggestion, and is named Moss Corner in his honour. This is a source of lingering confusion as many people call the track Mossport. Unlike many historic motorsport venues, Mosport's track layout has remained mostly unchanged from its original form.

    RACING WEATHER - PRODOMINANTLY WET RACE
    QUALIFYING IS FULLY WET

    We will start on a dry surface to avoid a lot of spray at the start.
    (but it could happen that rFactor2 carries a wet surface over from warm-up. I have set the warmup to 165 minutes to start dry, like practice)

    Tried some laps.
    Mosport in the wet, with these cars, will need some practice. Once you have the setup and throttle work dialled in, it's a lot of fun.
    If anyone has some wet-weather racing skills in the attic, now is the time to get it.

    This is my home track about 150km east of Toronto. A track that I have driven (not raced) on. I was at the Canadian GP at Mosport in 1967. Won by Jack Brabham. That day was very rainy and very wet. I think soggy ignition DNF'd Clark. How appropriate to have a wet race!

    For some reason the livetiming doesn't show any laps here?

    My participation in this event is iffy. I have an appointment that is scheduled to end about qually time. If it goes late at all, I’m hosed.
    Looks like yet another challenging event. No wet tire options in 1967? Research says the Goodyears had better wet weather grip than the Firestones, though this doesn’t seem to be the case for this mod.

    Anyone else feel a weird change in grip between different parts of the tarmac?

    I feel like the track is going to be far too wet to be enjoyable at all.

    Hello, should I make the tyres a bit more manageable in the rain? It’s just a bit short notice for your race

    Could do. But it's a one-off race so not sure. It's just so unpredictable on 100% rain.

    For sure. One particular spot is coming out of Moss hairpin. Its fine in the dry, but sudden loss of grip in the wet.
