If you haven't driven the track at Mosport this would be a good first step in understanding what the track is all about - in the world of racing it is still something special.
You really can't imagine the insane off-camber blind turns with multiple surface changes and the massive elevation changes - some of them so extreme the inclines are virtually impossible to walk up - a.k.a. turn 4 to turn 5a -
or the sinking feeling in your gut as you crest the blind hill into turn 2 and the two high speed bumps push you inexorably away from the first apex towards the tire barrier only to find grip at the last minute and slice across the second apex with its asphalt repair strip ripping at your tires.
This is where Winkelhock lost his life in the Porsche 962C - it's one of the most daunting and revered corners in the world of racing.
