This weekend racing was awesome! I also have to say, that everything was very well organized and I learned a lot information about both my car and how auto-x works. It seemed that there was 1 instructor for every 2 students which gave a large amount of time for conversation and talking about technique and such, and most importantly DRIVING!!. I think they assign instructors based on there knowledge of similar cars, and my instructor used to have a MSP so that was very helpful. He kept commenting on how good/fun the MP3 is to drive, and that for auto-x he likes it more then he did his MSP. Everyone was very friendly and was happy to give advice.
And as far as how the MP3 performs, I unofficially finished 1st in STS for the student class, out of about 15 cars. The only car faster in STS was a Scion XA with mods driven by an instructor (I think I was a second behind his time). I will wait until they post the official times online before I see what cars I beat overall, but from what I saw the MP3 time was better then a lotus on race tires, and a s2000, and a couple subies...!!
The instructors also got to drive there cars on sunday, and I have to say some of those cars are crazy.
One more thing, anyone have a set of wheels for sale that would be good for auto-x. Driving with the toyo proxes 4 A/S destroys the hell out of them .
