While I haven't tried all the other tracks in Ontario, I think DDT offers the most compact yet fun packed track I've seen. The other ones can cater to higher speed straights but DDT is all about the quick transitions.

What is your primary function for the car? My car was strictly autoX and track days. I used to drive around when the weather was good but the XP10s are loud if you wear off the transfer layer and it was getting old. The XP10s have yet to fade on me and the dust that comes off of it is VERY easy to clean even a few days afterwards. If you are lazy and don't want to bother cleaning your wheels, the XP10s offer good dusting factor with stopping power, durability and heat capacity. My only complaint is that initial bite isn't as strong which can lead to modulation issues. I didn't find this at first but as I got better at pushing the car to the limits, I found that the modulation isn't quite as linear as I'd like it to be.

I'm going to be trying out the Project Mu Club Racer RC09s next.

I'm running the hawk blues currently but had the hp+. I thought they were pretty good for MONDA with no abs but the car is considerably lighter.
Next time around I'll probably go back the the hp+

When is the next lapping day at mosport DDT track? Wouldn't mind getting in one lapping day there this year.

LemonJus

Unfortunately they don't have a true open lapping day like Cayuga does primarily because Bridgestone Racing Academy officially owns the track (from what I understand).

You have to find an organization renting the facility to get a lapping day. That means going with Touge.ca (NOPE!), Ian Law Advanced Driving School (as a lapper), Hanson School (as a 'student'), SPDA (if you have a roll bar which I don't), etc.

My next session there will be with Hanson School in October.

Speed Envy is hosting something on Sat Oct 8 - never heard of them, if they're better than Touge, I might sign up. https://speedenvy.ti...p.com/oct82016/

SPDA also has one on Sat Sep 10 - as long as you have a roll bar in your convertible, you'll be okay (their insurance requires this) you also need to become a member, which is something like $40 http://spda-online.ca/content.php

I started using the Hawks DTC60s this year and REALLY like them compared to my Endless MX72 and CCRGs. I find the modulation is really good and there's a good initial and then progressive bite. I did experience some brake fade by lap 10 at TMP and DDT, but I suspect that may also be a function of my braking technique, or lack thereof.

Also, when you bed them in the first time, do it at night and enjoy the light show! The only other downside is the immense brake dust.

Is there anything on the big track?

LemonJus

Nope. I don't like the way they aren't open to the public but given that the track runs some of the biggest racing events during the year, the money they can potentially make from us peasants is peanuts.
