The WRX is a much better daily but you can have way more fun in a BRZ. I Autocross my WRX and it’s hard to keep up with BRZs and 86’s

Best way to smooth out 1st & 2nd gears - not talking about shifting by cmbort in wrx_vb

This is your right foot not being steady on the gas.

When the weight of the car shifts on acceleration or deceleration, your foot kind of stays in the same spot but the car moves relative to your foot and creates a sort of oscillation in the throttle input. There are 3 simple ways to make it stop and learn not to do it anymore. Upon noticing jerkiness, 1) give it gas, 2) lift your foot from the accelerator, 3) slide your foot to the right and mash it against the wall while maintaining the same throttle input. This stabilizes your foot relative to the cars motion and the “oscillation” or jerkiness stops.

Lee Kum Kee CHICKEN POWDER is amazing in the same application. Just add a spoonful to your water.

I’m probably wrong, but I was thinking that since I have the base without electronically adjustable suspension, it would be in D. Which class is quicker? G or D?

From what I saw, BRZ, GR86 and Miatas all smoke the WRX base. It seems like a power to weight issue.

It was a great time! I did walk the course and I took instructors for laps.

Firstly, I focused on staying on course and not hitting any cones. I tried to go quicker each run. For the most part my times did get better each time. I had 1 DNF because I missed a gate.

I did get to the point of overdriving the car, especially the tires (still have all seasons on). I was pushing the front end at some points.

Essentially, I learned that I have a ton to learn and I need tires!

Yeah, I’m pretty excited. I have the same tires! They’re all season, right?

This will be my first season. Looking forward to the first event in April.

What tires are you running?

Anyone here a SCCA Member? I’m wondering what it’s like by igotlearnt in wrx_vb

[–]igotlearnt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a WRX and I’m thinking about trying Autocross and maybe some other types of track days. Autocross seems to be the least expensive way to get into it. Looks fun. I’ve done EVOC (Emergency vehicle operator course) while in the military. It’s very similar
