So what's the point of taking out all the dirt from T2? BTW, that picture makes turn 2 look like it's a piece of cake.

T2 on the track and run-off is untouched. The inside and outside of T2 on the spectator side of the fence is what has been levelled and smoothed for better sightlines.

Here's where C9 ends and the old tunnel has beenAttachment 26728
removed

This might take care of the bumps going into turn 9.... Fresh pavement

Lets hope they fix 10.... worse turn on the bloody track. Actually, if the surface was much better, the bike racing would be much more entertaining... As it is now, every bike is shooting for the EXACT same line (maybe not in 2 & 8 ) through almost every corner. Thats why Bogie is so good, you can try things and not risk it all.

Visited the track yesterday and saw all the de-construction going on.
Phoned the Mosport offices and spoke to the man there to ask permission
to take photos etc.
He said to be patient and wait for the press releases which are due
out very soon. The track has been out shooting their own stuff and will release
accurate details asap.

if the track gets repaved I'm definitely buying every available track day there ( if there is any ) , Mosport is my favourite track and if it does get repaved it will be that much more fun and definitely much, much safer , i hate those cement patches, some are very bad , i crashed twice because of them and had a few close calls , i wish they also expended some of the run-offs , especially turn 4 , i hope the good news come soon !! all the best too all riders out there

If it gets repaved, then it won't be long before the concrete is back. It's the point where the outside wheels of cars sit, when cornering, and they do a real number on the asphalt.

Seems like the rumour mill continues to swirl. Why on earth would they repave the track? Seems like a very unnecessary expense.

Besides some dirt moving and removal of the tunnel, doesn't sound like much going on...just improvement on spectator areas. They have been very tight-lipped on anything else so I am curious as to where some people get their "information" from.

[Rob MacLennan]

Considering that a big chunk of the corner 9-10 area seems to be removed I'm not sure if it should be called a repave, or just a pave.

Brent?

While nobody has said anything specific, from the sounds of it their business plan is to attract a major event, something NASCAR sized. I don't think there's any way NASCAR would consider running there with the surface that exists in many places.

[racer81]

Just can't see this being for a NASCAR event. Don't forgot that for NASCAR you need garages and pit stalls for 40 + cars.

It's great to see the changes especially for the spectators and the track day users.

Would love to know where some people on here get there "inside information". I know quite a few people there too and haven't heard anything like some of the claims on here.

Your right. Thats why Bogie is such a gem, no high downforce, winged cars allowed!

Actually it's the high torque big V8s that churn up the apex. Think Trans-am of the 80s/90s.

[fastar1]

No, it's the downforce. Lateral Gs are much higher than longitudinal Gs, usually a minimum of 1.5 when cornering versus a usual max of 1.0 for acceleration.

The concrete patches are all the way through the corner, not just through the exit portion.
