If you think racing around a parking lot of cones doesn't sound cool, it's only because you haven't tried it. Autox is the cheapest and most accessible way to get into motorsports, and it'll teach you invaluable driving lessons. (Apologies to Rob Leslie for erroneously referring to his CRX as a Civic. Asian Ben has been appropriately disciplined for his screw-up.)

I went to one autoX event in my area and I was hooked. My car went from a modified daily with stereo components and almost no performance mods, hanging out at shows and going through judging. To what it is today. A gutted sedan with larger engine, full suspension upgraded, with Autocross tires sitting in the garage waiting for the next few minutes of cone carving glory.

I started racing auto X here in germany after watching your videos about auto X and time attack. I did some research and took my little Peugeot 206 hatchback to an event. Now I am hooked and attend every event in the local auto X series. Keep up the great work, you inspire people to go out and race.

@GearsandGasoline
@GearsandGasoline 8 лет назад
haha, autocrossfit? Do show up early to the event. They should do a novice walk of the course, which you should do. Be humble: autocross is totally different from other types of hpdes. Even if you track, it'll take a lot of getting used to.

I've seen people autocross with a 85 Toyota Tercel with all season tires. Leaning so hard in the corners that I thought it was gonna flip. I was laughing so hard. Also seen a early 90s 7 series. Huge boat of a car. These videos make it seem like it's all about competition. It is and isn't. You can sign up to race in the FR class. Fun Run. Any car can go there in that class and just do what the class says. Have fun. As soon as you start modifying your car you really have to pay attention to what you can do to it to stay within the class that you're in. 1 incorrect modification can put you in the next class and all of a sudden you're at the bottom. Basically just go out with what you got and have fun and get good. Tires won't make you a better driver. Practice will.

My friend tried to make fun of me for autox'ing. He called me a "parking lot" racer, which is funny because in my 20+ events I've never autox'd in a parking lot. While the seat time argument against autox is a valid one, the satisfaction at the end of the day is still there if you join the right club. Also the risk of crashing or blowing up an engine is greatly reduced compared to track. I enjoy both track and autox equally. But, when my budget is tight I stick to autox.
@KristoferHamilton
@KristoferHamilton 6 лет назад
I wonder how the dollar to seat time ratio compares to an actual track day. I've never done a car track day. Only auto/rally cross. $45 seems like a pretty good deal. Especially considering the friends I've made.
@garytsuikk
@garytsuikk 6 лет назад
Kris Hamilton $/per driving minute for a track day beats autox for sure. But the overall costs to do a track day is significantly more especially most track days are two days event so you have to factor in travel/gas/hotels etc. Having said that, there are some serious autoxer that travels around the country to compete in the National events. And when you get to that point, then the gap between the two are all of a sudden much closer and track days seem to make more sense. The sports are very different, both are thrilling but autox (and perhaps karting) is definitely a cheaper way to get into motorsports for fun and for driving development. IMO there is no argument to this fact. Of course, there are autoxer or track day guys that think one is definitely better than the other but I think those are the guys who either haven't done both or just can't see the goods in both sports.
