Another AutoX victory!

Well, SCCA's 1st points event of the year was today.

I continue to build confidence every time I make a run.

This car really is amazing.

72 cars there today. We have 12 guys who run in 'X-class', including 3 former class National Champs. I was 1st in AS.

I pax'd 16th.

Here is my best run. It was in the afternoon session. Very grippy concrete.

So excited about getting this thing out on track (Sebring, February 19th).

Congrats. I'm new to auto crossing period. Going to two events this coming weekend. What starting tire pressures did you run?

Congrats, great run. Apparently they did classify the 1LE properly...

Which modes/PTM have you run with, which ones work best?
Thanks

Looking good. I've got another 250 miles of break in (and a 3 month deployment) to go and I'll be right there with you!

Good question. I think it depends on your driving style and confidence level.

This is my 2nd AutoX event (in this car).

I ran last weekend, then yesterday (practice) and today.

For all the events, it was 22 runs. That's a lot of runs in 7 days.

I started with Sport - Competitive Driving Mode, then tried PTM - Dry and today it was PTM - Sport 1.

Sport 1 was the fastest so far, but I can't say if that's because PTM is so good or I am starting to build confidence in the car. (it's probably a mix of both).

If you watch the video, you'll see it was a fairly fast course. Lots of opportunity for PTM to 'do it's thing'. On a small, tight course, YMMV.

Have fun!

I noticed the GPS tracking wasn't "on". Have you messed with it on AutoX to see if it's usable without a starting line?
