First Autocross w/Z

Basically a good job, but two things you can work on...

Keep working at your slaloms (your second was better than your first) but just because you make it around one doesn't mean you shouldn't keep setting up for the next. You seemed to get one done and sorta point at the next one instead of keeping your turn going a bit longer to help you set up...I am pretty sure I could have made it through those first offsets at near full throttle!

Second, the two right hand turns that you almost stopped (it seemed haha) both could be taken at a SLIGHTLY higher speed and lots of time to set up for the next turn in both cases.

Both are very much beginner "learning the ropes" mistakes and will be better with more confidence in the car. Try to go along on rides with people who place high in the standings and see how they do!
