The Wings and Slicks Stunt Driving Experience will be at Mosport Park on October 22 for the first time. Mosport has excellent facilities and participants are in for a real treat this Saturday as they will be driving at the home of Canada’s motorsport.
The Program begins with a short classroom session for some basic driving tips and safety rules, then participants are split into small groups and introduced to their track instructor.
Stunts will include extreme handbrake turns and the reverse 180 degree spin – a real crowdpleaser at the movies!
Spaces are still available for this weekend, so cash in those reward points or buy one of our new gift certificates.
Driving in the Rain

Duncan Kwok recently posted a video of his experiences driving in the rain. The video demonstrates how the wet surfaces affects the slick tires and also shows how easy it is to lose control in the rain. At the end of the day, Duncan Kwok said:
“Absolutely fantastic experience. Both dry and wet. Great setup, friendly staff and fast cars, I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Cold Days but Hot Cars

Although Toronto had its first chilly weekend of the Fall, spirits weren’t dampened at the Wings & Slicks event in Barrie. Groups from the Living Social and Team Buy programs took part in the Formula Car experience as well as other individuals and the feedback has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
Many drivers video their first drive or have someone video them. This weekend Duncan Kwok took an unusual approach with the video of his first session. He mounted the camera down low and pointed it back towards himself rather than forward at the track. The result is a new perspective on both the experience and the Barrie track. The viewer also gains a sense of just how fast these cars can go.
You can view this video and more on YouTube.
