You can bring a guest but I don't believe they are allowed in the cars.
However, unless you have a really strong stomach you don't want to be in the car as a passenger. The motions are so violent you tend to get motion sickness. A couple guys in my course tried to get a bit of extra seat time as passengers and quickly gave up due to motion sickness. |

If you get motion sickness at Area 27, you probably would at Rocky Mountain Motorsports near Calgary, too, as it has quite a bit of elevation change and some blind crests. Castrol (now called Rad Torque Raceway) is flat as a pancake, though, except for the banking on turn 3.

The Calgary track (sort of, it is near Carstairs, north of Airdrie) is a new one that has been open for 2 years, designed by Hermann Tilke. It is quite good with lots of technical challenge. They are making a few adjustments, though, as a few cars have gone off at about 160km/h in turn 1 and cleared the gravel trap and tyre barrier and totalled cars in the concrete barrier behind. |

Very interesting motion sickness is a big issue for some of you guys.
I can't handle being on a boat. After 5 minutes I'm ready to hurl. I can do lap after lap without feeling a thing though. They have those bracelets that put a little pressure on your wrist that are supposed to help with motion sickness. Might be worth a try. |

I'm considering Hockenheimring, Nürburgring GP or eventually Sachsenring, waiting for 2024 bookings to open.
It would be nice to go together |

Hey, we all bust each other's chops for what people do/spend for items for their car and in reality all that matters is if its worth it to the user. I am sure people think I spent too much on my rims and am nuts for the stage 2 tune and related mods/upgrades on a car with less than 2,000 miles but its what I wanted and I am very happy with the outcome (and still a few goodies in the works). |

Personally, my “mods” are strictly cosmetic i.e. no performance additions and I’m just as pleased as you with the car. YMMV |
