Mosport DDT or TMP (Cayuga)?

Hey guys,

Looking at booking another track day and trying to decide which track do hit up. Help me decide!

I've ridden TMP (Cayuga) and loved it. Decent pavement, nice tight turns and safe. Now I've never ridden the mosport DDT track and I`m looking for feedback or a comparison. It looks pretty slow and rough from the videos I've watched on Youtube. I also understand that this may the last and only time to ride the DDT track as they are tearing it up in the fall. Mosport is a lot closer but I really enjoyed Cayuga and don`t mind driving if it`s a better track.

I`d love to try the other tracks around but there is nothing going on the days I`m looking at going and Bogie is just too far and too much $$$.

Dates I`m looking at is Sept 1 or 2.

Thoughts, comments, feedback?
 
DDT track is very tight. 125s and 250s are great for it but 600s are a little large for it. Others will prolly chime in but I prefer Cayuga over DDt track any day.
 
DDT is worthless unless you're brand new to riding. The fact that they are tearing it up after only a dozen years to rebuild a new one suggests as much. You're not missing anything by sticking to Cayuga.
 
Lol, TMP must be screaming from joy for the first time in the life of GTAM :)

I talked to the guy who laid the new asphalt on the big track, and he said they aren't ripping up the DDT. They are ripping up the oval and stands, etc, and building a new track that'll join onto the DDT to offer flexible configurations. He said something about them using the cheap asphalt and just paving over the bad spots on the DDT, then coming back a year later and cutting out the parts that go bad again, and use the expensive asphalt that they used to repair the big track. It's a brand new material, the asphalt they used on the big track, and nobody really knows how it's going to hold up. I think that's the reason for waiting a year or more, see how it holds up on the big track before using the expensive stuff in the corners on the DDT/new track.
 
OP - You live in Newcastle so just ride up to the DDT track and walk it to see for yourself.

Inside sources say different.

Oval and DDT track will be gone, and made room for a new 3.(something) km track for bikes.

Hmmm. Sources vs. sources. I think the company laying the pavement might be the most accurate source as he had all the technical drawings to quote the job ;)
