Also, while I don't really do autocross, my first thought on improving your times from seeing the video was to do everything earlier. In some critical corners you end up not really getting on the throttle until you're way past the apex and you've just about completely straightened out before you give it any real gas, which isn't ideal. Brake earlier and get on maintenance-level throttle through the apex to pin the rear down for more traction, and you should be able to hold more mid-corner speed and then put the power down faster as you track out.
Nice driving!  |
Thanks for the advice. I was really concerned about giving it too much gas and getting the rear out from under me. I need to practice throttle control for sure.
The first turn is a 360, yes. You come in wide then cut in around the center cone. The thing is that I did 7 runs and this was the only time it ever happened. I don't think that was the highest constant G run through that section. Maybe it was...maybe the other runs were just a little less? I don't know but that needs to get fixed.
