I went out Friday evening lapping with the MR crew, complete mix of foreign and domestic muscle. Everything from Vette's to Mini's to S2000's and even a Lotus which is rare up here. As always, I had the only Forester but did run with a couple of STI's and Impreza's. One of my good friends was in the 09 STI and he can turn a hot lap, sadly we never managed to get out on the track together. I did manage to run down a few powerfull cars but couldn't hang with the Lotus (was supercharged) or the S2000 with front to rear splitter, difusser and huge rear wing. Burned up lots of fuel , melted away some rubber and had a great time. This track is huge, smooth, challenging, fast and above all, fun. On the back straight, I'm well into 5th gear looking to hit 120mph.
I'm still rendering most of my video. I ran a 1080p HD Panasonic Camcorder which produces huge files. Here's a couple of teasers:
Last 2 laps of the evening before they shut us down:
YouTube - Calabogie Motorsports Park - Subaru Forester Turbo XT - 2 hot laps
Proof that good instruction is worth more than buying HP. One of the BMW instructors lives nearby and turned up, he sat in for a session and gave me some coaching. Video speaks for itself.

Pesky turbo Miata:
Good luck catching this one. I needs more aero !!
The track has its own photographer, I bought a DVD full of pics as a memento
