Thank you for this video, I am very new and “green” to the sport. This gave well explained instructions and very clear insights.

❤ wow! Unexpected great video!!! One of the best on autocross 🎉

What a great video! You packed a tremendous amount of quality information into less than 10 minutes! I miss the days when malls were closed on Sundays and those big parking lots were available for autocross. I used to take my mother’s 1600cc Pinto and compete against BMWs at Shoppers World in Natick, Mass in the late 70’s.

Thanks! You can still do it in a better venue than parking lots at Devens MA airfield. Most MA clubs run there on weekends. BMW, Porsche, Miata, Corvette, SCCA, etc. You can join even if you don't drive a car of the club make.

@@RichardViard I used to belong to the Corvettes of Mass club in the 80’s. We drove Solo II up at Loudon before it became a super speedway. I drove SSC and SSB. Lots of fun and yes, smooth is fast, especially when you have only 100 hp!

The slalom explanation reminded me of the one time my (ex-)brother-in-law went to an autocross. After the surprise of his car not passing tech with missing lug nuts, and the rush of trying to find new ones in time, he walked the course and thought he was smart... He came up to me and said, like it was some kind of revelation "The slalom is optional". I told him "The *direction* is optional. You can't opt out of the slalom." And his ego deflated all over again. 😆

More Rachael please. She is very good.

Great video!! The animation work is very clear and well done. Love it!

Wow, great video, will be watching this one a few time!

As an absolute beginner, this really helped resolve several questions I had around cornering--particularly relating to the loading of the car. I can intuitively visualize it a lot better now, thanks!

That was great! Animation was fantastic!

Great video!!! Best one I've seen. I learned alot! Looking forward to my first autocross!

Well done! Great video.

I like it!

very nice, I have an older Jag XJS weighing in at around 3200 lbs, with Hoosier autocross slicks,on reasonable turns about 45 feet in radius it is okay, however on really tight turns I am hopeless, the car suffers massive understeer, this is on a spin cone at Portland which is about 400 degrees in rotation.... any help appreciated...

The easy answer is to get a more agile car for AX, like a Miata or Porsche Boxster. Otherwise, to cure oversteer, play with tire pressure to find out what works best, and in general, slow in, fast out is the best approach. Especially with a powerful rear-wheel drive car, you can throttle steer out of the tight corner. Trail breaking is another technique that could help. Best of luck!
