I was the driver/owner of the 2005 Ford GT and a member of the Chesapeake AutoX team. The GT does not have traction control and in trying to get off the starting line more quickly I gave it too much gas for too long and spun out trying to make the first turn. And although it's so much fun to drive it really is not well suited to drive on the AutoX course for vision and other reasons. I did go off course the very first run but ended up just below 51 seconds after many runs. What a great day and lots of fun for everyone. Luv your podcast guys!
Thanks for bringing the GT out!
What a great topic. Showing my 18 and 16 year old after school
PCA has the Juniors Participation Program which is perfect for older teens with a drivers license.
My dad got me started in autocross as soon as I got my license with his '86 Carrera (which he still owns). Highly recommend that anyone try autocrossing!!
Great PCA Insider podcast and subjects. - 🙂 @ Damon thanks, those were fun times and most memorable AutoX events at the Q.
Thanks for watching!
Another advantage to autocross over track driving is the risk involved when you make a big mistake. If you loose control of the car in an autocross, most likely will just run over some cones, but at a track, you could go off and possibly hit a barrier damaging your car and be responsible paying for the barrier you damaged. I've done track events too, but I tend to be more conservative there than an autocross where there's less risk involved to find the limits of the car.
Thanks for sharing!
So, I am thinking of taking my 2001 996 C2 autocrossing, and I am thinking of getting a dedicated wheel and tire set for this. You mentioned 255 fit on the front. I am assuming 18" wheels. What would be a good size for the rear and what wheel & tire setup (RE71RS?) should I be looking at?
Thanks.
I can vouch for the RE71RS tires. I autocross using this tire +10 mm wider than stock on all four slightly wider wheels on my 987.2 Cayman. Great grip and feel, not to mention I won 1st place overall in my region/class last year using these. Even though I use '19 wheels, I know '18 is optimal for the 987. Maybe the same can be said for your model.
