Sundays autox

This was my fastest run from Sunday in Moline Il. There was another FRS bone stock on stock tires. My fastest was a 51.0 his was a 55.5 I only have RS3s. His was also the 6speed mt vs my AT.

Nice vids. In the second video with the orange car you can see the door flexing as the car corners hard. It looks like that TRD door brace may be useful after all.

Nice videos. That was a good catch about the door flexing also.

I was driving the other FR-S that day. Yes I was slow. It was my first event with my new car. I have a long way to go before I can get back to my first place finishes I'm used to. I'm coming from a focus svt with heavy mods (fwd) to this AWESOME piece of machinery.

I also cannot believe how little grip the stock tires have compared to the RS-3s I ran on the focus.

My driving style needs to change to improve the performance of this platform.

I think your car stood up well for the stock tires. But grip levels are so far different between the tires. Was glad to see another Frs out there. I felt like I drove like crap. Only two semi ok runs out of 6. Lots of work to do.

Wow, that course setup for the first drive event was stupid... they would have been better off with 1/4 the cones and chalk lines for the noobs.
