Mk V Supra - My Evo's Replacement?

Maintenance for me for the year is just tires. That would be a total of 12 days of racing.

Autocrossing is like speed chess. Driving on a track (i.e., track days and time trials, not W2W) is like slo mo by comparison. I like both and they definitely complement each other from a driving skill standpoint. I don't think I've ever seen a good autocrosser who didn't hit the ground running on track, but there are plenty of track guys who are horrible at autocross.

I agree. you need to flip to track mode or autox mode. I dont do this enough, some track guys say autocrossers have bad racing lines on track. before I take anyone's advice i first find out if they have a disposable track car. there's just too many track-only racing heros
Autox to me is hold-your-breath 110% driving mode. The braking box alone gives me the shakes

I'm not saying this is the norm, but not every good autox'r is gonna hit the track and be fast right away. (see below for more)

Whenever I watch a friends auto-x video, I'm constantly wondering where the hell the track/next corner is...I think I would get cross eyed with the cones and get lost constantly, lol!
