Autocrossing a BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Autocrossed my BRZ for the first time this weekend, my gf co-drove. Completely stock, didn't realize the stock tires were as bad as everyone says. Im no pro, but enjoy some vids:

Here is my fastest run of the day:

Gf accedentally messing up the track. This was the only time she went off course, otherwise she did very well for her first autocross.

My second run, ran with nannies completely off. Apparently I didn't expect it to be quite so different from vsc sport.

It's good to see the BRZ in its natural environment And that's a fast course setup! What car had FTD?

FTD was a 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S, as usual. Its pretty sick. Runs in super street prepared.

I haven't seen that one on a shirt. My friend wrote it on the back of my car after I ran a little wide through a corner and took out a few cones. I was still faster, so he can suck it.

You can probably design one on CafePress. I'm sure people would buy it.

Thanks for the dispersed kind words, lol. Surprizingly enough, I think I hit more cones than my gf did. She tended to not get very close to them, which helped her chances of not hitting them. Then again she did go off course that one time though. Oh well, was a great time. Should be racing again here in a couple weeks.
