Weather Update: It looks very likely that thunderstorms will hit the area at the time of our session. Rain is not conducive to the type of session we have planned so we’re cancelling the ride. We’re calling it early so you can adjust plans and ride during a clear window if possible.
This week we’re taking our skill development to the next level with a Grand Prix-style session at the Speedway. This kart track session will feature “Practice”, “Qualifying” and “Finals” to test your skill and speed. See below for more info.
As always…
We ride on a closed circuit (no cars!) at the Flamboro Speedway that features a 500m oval and a technical course.
Upon arrival, enter through the ticket gates and drive up the pit road. Park near the picnic tables & canteen. There are washrooms available.
This coached session is intended for R1, R2, R3 & R4 Speed Groups.
Please see the GCC speed categories for more info.

Schedule:
6:00PM – Intro & Track Etiquette, Paceline Riding (Session 1)
Enter the track and join us at the Staging Area. We will do a quick familiarization and discuss track riding etiquette. Then break into groups and ride the oval.
Mandatory: On your first visit to the Speedway you must attend the intro & track etiquette at 6:00PM so you are familiar with the layout and expectations for riding the track.
6:30PM – Intervals (Session 2)
We will pause the paceline riding and reorganize at the Staging Area. Then break into new groups and ride intervals on the oval.
7:00PM – Grand Prix (Session 3)
Meet at the Staging Area. We’ll move to the kart track for a skill building session. Building on our previous sessions, this week we’ll focus on cornering at speed to complete your fastest solo lap. Then at the completion of “qualifying” we’ll pair up and go head to head on the kart track.
Entering & Exiting the Track:
Enter the track at turn 4. Always come to a complete stop and confirm the track is clear before entering. Cross the oval to access the kart track and stop at the “Staging Area” (“S” on the map below).
Exit the track at turn 2. When the track is clear, from the inside of the oval cross the track and exit. While riding the oval you may also move to the far outside of the oval and exit.
