Calabogie’s Premier Drivers Club
Club Calabogie to me offers the best track experience at a great price. The people, facilities, and the track itself is second to none. I drive nearly 500kms one way any chance I get to visit this place – this is truly my home track and makes for a great getaway from the busy pace of Toronto. I would highly recommend any lapping enthusiast to come out and experience it for themselves.
– Jason Podolski
The most important feature that attracts me to Calabogie is the fact that I feel welcomed. The staff is extremely friendly and always ready to help. The format of open track is great. It gives you lots of track time and allows you to improve. I really appreciate the fact that we have an instructor at our disposal for questions and advice. The Calabogie team is so great that I do not bother to go anywhere else!

We teach awareness, precision and to be in touch with your racing environment. Once mastered, the technique of speed comes quite easily. Speed and safety are the rewards of a profound awareness of your environment.
