Overdrive x VIMC June 30, 2025

Welcome to the official page for the Overdrive Annual track day. We've changed our event venue to the beautiful Vancouver Island Motorsports Circuit in Duncan B.C.. This does mean those living on the mainland will need to take a ferry to attend this event. We've made it easier by pushing the event back to a later start so there are additional ferry options. We won't be doing our typical BBQ for food this year but we will have a number of sponsored prizes and swag for the event. There is a 1 hour lunch break so feel free to go into town for food and gas!

Track Tips

  • BRAKES! - OEM brake pads and street fluid often are insufficient at Mission which is a very brake-heavy track. If fluid has not been changed in the last 6 months, we highly recommend a flush with some sort of racing brake fluid (e.g., Torque RT700, Motul RBF660, Castrol SRF, etc.). There is nothing scarier than stepping on your brakes and having your pedal go to the floor and not being able to slow down
  • Egos - Our lapping day is intended for drivers to have fun, be safe, and build skill towards being better drivers. It is not a race and there are no trophies to take home so please approach the event with an open mind and don't worry about lap records and passing other drivers. We will be actively monitoring drivers who are not courteous or are excessively aggressive and black flag them if they jeopardize event safety.
  • Talk to your organizers - We will have multiple event staff on-site that are readily accessible if you have any issues throughout the day. We encourage participants to speak up so that our event can run as smoothly as possible.
  • Fuel - Make sure your fuel tank is topped up and take time between sessions or during the lunch break to go out into town and fill your tank. Fuel starve can happen on many street cars at higher g-forces and can be an inconvenience as well as a liability for your engine. 
  • Tires - bring a tire gauge to monitor your pressures throughout the day. One of the easiest ways to fine tune your car's handling balance and managing heat. Street tires may not be able to handle repeated laps of hard driving and may start to get greasy at higher temperatures.
