Good to see more people getting out there and autoxing! And glad to hear you had a blast, I love autoxing.

Here's a vid of my first event of the year in the new car I'll be co-driving (first time driving it!) And I had top pax and just shy of top time of day.

14 events in a year is awesome! Are you looking into buying GO PRO or something similar? I love watching videos or Z in motion. Whether it's Autox or HPDE, I don't care .

That's awesome man. Yeah, I found it way more entertaining that I thought it would be.

Awesome! Don't get discouraged just keep it up.

I forgot to bring my go pro today and it was too wet for the JVC.


Here are a few vids from past runs.

Nice videos man. Almost lost control in the first run . So, do you keep the VDC on or off?

Has to be off, no question. You'll get used to controlling the car while sliding around, that comes with experience.

One of the common mistakes that novices make is that when the car starts to slide they lift off the gas, this causes 2 problems. 1) It creates a sudden weight transfer fowards, causing your to lose grip in the rear, which was obviously already in short supply because you were sliding, and 2) if the slide was a power slide (you were spinning the tires) lifting off will cause you to suddenly regain traction causing the car to more than likely snap back in the opposite direction. You will learn to modulate the throttle in order to modulate the rear traction and allow grip to come back progressively.

I should have video this year!
