Update from this weekend:
As some of you guys were aware, I was out Autocrossing the car at this weekends VCMC event out in Pitt Meadows. I managed to place 2nd over all in C Stock class although the car is capable of going MUCH faster. MY FR-S actually had a chance to beat the 2001 Miata on Race Tires which ultimately ended up winning C stock. But I was surprised to see how great the FR-S actually is with a decent set of road tires. I could have beaten a lot of racing tire guys if my driving was better.
My fastest time of the day was a 48.226. Which is not too bad considering I ended up 9th out of 28 novices. Most of the novices who placed ahead of me were running cars which were not stock. So I didn't do too badly.
A friend with 10 years AutoX experience managed to get a 44.980 in my car. That just shows me that I have plenty to learn. I think the difference though is just down to how much "on throttle time" you can manage and I probably got a little scared.
Here are some photos of the car all done up. Next event for me is either this Sunday (not sure yet due to work) or the Aug 11th / 12th weekend for the VCMC Championship. I've already pre-registered for the Championship event and will be there for sure.
