Default BAB VIII at Mont-Tremblant – Who’s going?

The Boston chapter BMW club just pulled a funny one by moving the registration dates 2 months earlier this year.

I have just registered for the August 12-14 event at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant. I’m planning on doing all 3 days.

Anybody else is going?

It's a definite maybe! A little too early for me to commit but I hear the track is fantastic. I just need to get work/home stuff straightened out.

I'll be there.

Its a great track. Corner 4 and 7 are shall we say... challenging
You guys should look into running (The following week-end )at Shannonville or MoSport, if your taking the drive up here in the first place...
But if you can only do one of those tracks, Circuit Mt Tremblant" is my favorite one out of all of them and is well worth the drive across the border.

I doubt my boss will let me leave long enough to do both tracks!

Tremblant is a nice, a complete track. And the BMW guys are really nice and courteous (important when you want to pass!)

Turn 4 is challenging when taken at speed (went off road in 5 just after). 7 Is plenty fun and relatively fast. I liked turn 10 where you can open up a bit the exit to sling shoot thru 11.

Ah, I really can't say wich turn I prefere. the heavy up hill braking into NameRow is tons of fun too. Left many many tire marks there !

We have all left some marks there at some point or another!
If you dont, your just not being sufficiantly aggressive!

You have to be a member of a BMW club to attend.

So, to recapitulate... who's going to be at BAB8? Who's going to represent the Zs against all those Ms?

- I will

I'll be there the week before with CVR and at least Saturday/Sunday with BMWCCA. I'm being "evaluated" 7/5 and 7/6 for entrance to the Friday sessions.

Will be good to see you there, Kolia!

Ditto !

I sent my driver's resume and it did the trick. Plus I had good comments from my instructor last year.
