I am in the process of making desicion on participating in event. Anyone looking to do the same. Also Ferrari Festival which runs at Mt. Tremblant Canada at the starting point of Rally June 24-27. Guys any input will be appreciated.
Yeah, same here. Would love to do it too, trying to figure out the logistics and timing. I've done the Ferrari Festival a couple of years now, and it's a LOT of fun. It used to be purely an FCA event, coordinated out of and supported by Ferrari Quebec. But this year, because the Challenge weekend is at the same time, it will be a club track day on the first day, then the Challenge weekend (with owners eligible to drive sessions if you buy a package through Ferrari Quebec), then the Challenge Rally departs. If you've got the time, car and money, it's a major overdose of Ferrari! FWIW, Le Circuit Tremblant is a fantastic track, fully updated to FIA spec, very safe with lots of runoff room, and great fun to drive. And Tremblant is a great place to bring the s.o. and/or family - think Aspen. Spivy, are you going to drive while your brother navigates, or vice versa? vty, --Dennis
Dennis, thanx for information. I am thinking of doing both events. Hoping to get some track experience for myself and my son. Never done track events before. Love to see you there so you can give us some lessons on the track. Like to know what do I need to start enjoing track events for me and my son. Like to hear you recommendations. For Rally event I will switch with my son as navigator. I visit Mt. Tremblant Ferrari Festival in 2001. My family had great time. If we go it will family event again.
Spivy, if you want to get some track experience, consider signing up for a track event sooner rather than later (e.g., at NHIS or Lime Rock). There are a couple that you could do before Tremblant. And, FWIW, I held a little seminar a few weeks back with about a dozen people over dinner where we talked about driving on the track - practical info, theory of race driving, car preparation, etc. We closed the restaurant down! Lots of fun, will probably do it again soonish. If you're interested, let me know. vty, --Dennis
Dennis, We will discuss details at next Saturday or Sunday event. Sorry I could not make your Rally this weekend. I have to be at family event. Good luck with it. See you next Saturday.
Spivy, will see you at KTR for the Tutto Saturday events next weekend! And thanks for the good wishes with the NH rally - we're actually at, unbelievably, SIXTY people (with another four people who are trying to make last minute plans). Yowza! And the weather looks great too. I did a pre-run of part of the rally course on Sunday, and nearly lost my lunch (I was navigating) when we got air under all four tires.... vty, --Dennis
