New Track In Orlando

It may be old news but it's new to me. Paving will be done this month and it should be open in Jan. It's fairly short but I don't really care.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make their first orientation class (will be up at Amelia Island that day, with no way of making it back in time).

This is the best Christmas present EVER

PS: Where in Orlando are you? I'm over in the Metrowest/Windermere area.

Along with the new track in O'Town, Daytona is really opening things up lately. In the past two months there has been four open track events. All you need is a helmet and a tech. inspection. I stopped by the Audi Club event this weekend and wow were they having fun. IIR it was $900 for three days of track driving. Tons of Audi's but also saw Vettes, P cars, BMW's etc.. There were pro drivers having fun(Pobst, Herr) right along with "normal folks" like us.

Ya I was just thinking the same thing. There are at least 5 or 6 135i's in the Orlando are that I've seen personally.


I'm trying to see if that track is hiring because if so, that would be an awesome job for some extra $

That is pretty exciting. I'd like to check it out maybe some time this summer or fall after I finish break in. There are a few in-car videos up on Youtube as well. Check this one out. Looks reasonably safe for the car and definitely safe for the driver, as the speeds seem somewhere between your typical autocrosses and real road course events.

It does look really slow. The SC Lotus hits third only twice per lap. 60-70 MPH I would guess.

Thought I'd update...

I went there for one of their kart "rental races" and had a BLAST. Got a ton of track time for $50... 10 laps practice, 10 lap qualifying, 10 lap heat race with standing grid start, and 30 lap final race also with standing grid start. I HIGHLY recommend everyone try it out. All the karts were equal and fast. There were 18 or so of us there and the racing was good. Track was way too narrow for cars but perfect for karts. This is a karting track, not a road course. I'd be interested in doing a meet there. I think everyone would have a great time.
