I think FAST has been the only group here to do it recently. And that looks so much more complicated to do than auto-x just for the amount of stuff you have to remember for such a short course, but its nuts with some of the courses ive seen in other videos.

Yea Fast _ Loren has done them in the past.

The BMW club would not do anything like that because you really need to be able to see all around the car.. to the Miata's - S2000s did well because you could look over the back of the car. top down of course.
VS a Sedan was really difficult to drive using mirrors.

360 degree vision access does seem to help!
YouTube - 7 Gymkhana

Yet another reason to have a SuperSeven in the garage!!

FAST did one gymkhana last year as a lark -- haven't discussed whether we'll do another one this season. Definitely not more than one -- takes time away from a good, easier-on-the-transmission autocross!

I really liked the battlecross that fast did at primus. I would look foward to that as a special event.
