Nice work Jayman!

Spinning in 1 or 2 is the absolute worst place you can spin at Tremblant. let me guess, you lifted. But wait, you spun in turn 1? That's just before the blend line right before you go up the hill...is that really where you spun? That would be tough to do unless you were tight on the inside.
Anyway....glad you are ok and no damage.
In terms of lap times, I run a 1:57 there in my CS with RA1's and Pagid pads. A 996GT3 will do a 1:51 if well driven. The F430 challenge cars you saw will run a 1:47 (with an ok driver) to a 1:42 with a real hot shoe. They run on slicks and have almost 500hp though...they might not have been runnin that fast that day though.
Turn seven is tricky as well since it's an off camber right hander that you tend to want to turn early into and ease off the gas. In fact it's a later apex than you would think and you need to get hard on the gas to keep the *** in check.
It's a wonderful track despite the dirt pit road! In fact, they JUST paved the paddock this year for the champ cars!
