Re: Seeking Autocross Advice
Spend time practicing braking. I would participate in track days and start by braking early and hard. Learn the limits of the tires. You'll quickly learn how the tires feel just before ABS kicks in. That's what you need to feel every time. Then you begin braking later, then even later and later. Soon you'll find the distance you need from varying speeds within a few feet. The fastest cars (drivers) get the braking right. Next is cornering. Same thing really. Keep pushing until you drift wide. With the power of the SRT I late apex most everything to get on the power early. Perhaps the N/A is the same. Dedicate a day to late apex's only. See if you'r faster doing so. I couldn't practice in competition. Ego? Fear of looking bad? Probably. Find events to practice on a track with no pressure or find a place in Mexico. After polishing your control and finding the limits, then it's time to begin making changes. If you make changes before learning, you'll never learn the most valuable lessons to going faster. Practice, practice and more of the same, but with a motive. Late braking. Braking feel on different surfaces. Corner grip. Getting to maximum corner grip quickly... bla bla bla. Go into a practice with a plan. Don't deviate from it and learn the lessons. Naturally, you may have already done so. Since I can't know so, I said so. Good luck, learning is great fun. At least after the fact.
