Cayuga or Dunnville??

Has anyone from e46toronto drove a track day at any of these locations? I hear they are good tracks and extremely good value.
I can't seem to find information on them online.
Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Im actually going to Cayuga for the first time this coming Sunday.
Not sure what to expect.

cayuga is a good track depending on the layout. if it is a club track - it's boring and shaped almost like a kidney bean. if it's the full track, you should have a lot of fun. be careful putting one wheel off in the chicane - very bumpy and bad for the suspension.

Dunnville is a car destroyer. very hard on the brakes and braking points are very critical as you have long straights followed by sharp corners.

facilities at cayuga are not the best either, but the track itself is fun.

I liked Dunville a lot. Reminded me very much of Shannonville Full Track. There was one crazy tight turn that seemed really out of place, but it made driving interesting.

Thanks everybody! Great info. Looking forward to seeing you on the track! :D

Was at Cayuga this Saturday in the rain. Good call on the "braking abuse" that takes place there, but it is a fun track with a couple of challenging turns. Had a scary moment. Was passed on the long straightaway on the inside (properly) by an '04 996 GT3. About 30 feet passed me the rear end twitched out, then caught while he now facing about 20 degrees sideways towards the wall. Wheels caught, and he SLAMMED into the wall at about 160 kms (we were doing 155 at the time), car demolished, then spun back across IN FRONT OF US into the infield. Both guys were wearing helmets and walked away, but the car was totally destroyed and this happened on a straightaway where they hit the only wall on the entire course. Was a total eye opener for me. Enjoy track days, but they are for real fellows! My $0.02.

Goodness, I hope this was an instructional track day... otherwise no insurance coverage right?

Nope.
I found Cayuga to be really harsh on your front tires. The last corner onto the main straight can be a little scary too cause if you lose it just a little and the wall is right there.
Overall I like Shannonville better.
