So yeh i have my very first AutoX this sunday, im not gonna lie im scared ****less lol.......any of you pro autoXers have anytips for me and is it very hard? dont wanna look like a dumbass while out there haha

[ThatCarGuy]

Even though I'm no "pro", I've been to several... so here's what I have to say:
Just take it easy... nice and slow the first few times. Everyone is a beginner at some point. The second you try to slam the whole course as fast as you can, you will fail miserably, run over a dozen cones, and everyone will know your shame

Slow in, fast out.

Brake, THEN turn. don't try any fancy trail braking or anything.

good luck dood.

post times once you get back.

Ride along with somebody that has experience. See how they drive the course, this will give you an idea of what you should be doing.

Go in with the attitude that you indeed DO suck at autocross, and you're there to learn.
