Looks like you had fun. I still havent been to Mosport. The DDT looks flat and twisty like Dunnville or Shannonville.

Great event, very little grip, rain and cold, at least in my car, and my brake fluid warning light came on midway thru the 1st lap, eventhough the reservoir was full. Going to have it checked out tomorrow. The light went off, once I turned the car on and off.
The black turbo that says 640 on the rear, actually has 640 hp and all kinds of torque. He had similar issues but worse.

The driver development track has elevation changes but not as steep as the big track. Video IMO does not convey the elevation drops, especially noticeable on the big track (turn 2) which apparently is almost a 10 storey drop.
DDT is not a HP track, lighter well balanced cars do very well.

I wish I could join, but I'm bringing my car in to figure out this brake light issue. Maybe I'll stop by and take some pics.

As long as I'm not travelling for work, most any day during the week could be a hookey day. But I am pretty last minute, hard to commit too far ahead for me.
