I strongly recommend this to everyone that has not had an opportunity to find the limits of their car and their own ability in a safe, controlled environment. This will not replace track days at a road course with an instructor, but is a great place to start.
I have had my wife drive my TwinTurbo in several events and she is a much better driver on the road for it because she knows exactly what to expect at the edge. During one of the events, it rained before her third a fourth run and she got to hang the back out a little (that was about 200hp worth of mods ago). She did really well.
Best of luck but be careful... the track is addictive!  |
I can vouch for this. I used to autocross my 2005 WRX about 5 years ago. This is the proper place to test the limits of your skills and your car handling. Not condoning and yet considering to push the car is just as reckless, as anything adverse you can do on the road... blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, go to the track and you'll enjoy your car a lot more better!
