[quote="slobra281Amen. Auto x is fun and all, but if you wanna do a real test of driver skill and who has the better all around car.....go to a road course. Auto x is meant for slow cars that handle good(no flame just my opinion ). Go to Sebring or Road Atlanta for some real racing. Go more than 40mph, show how much balls your car has along with how good it handles. IMHO, the true overall test for a car is open track.[/quote]

this is a false statement... autocross requires GREATER driver skill and car control than road course.. why?

its much busier

good autocrossers almost always make good road racers, but good road racers without an autocross background do not necessarily make good autocrossers.

in a road course you can make up for a mistake.

in autocross ANY mistake is time lost.... A LOT of time lost. time never to be made up except on a succeeding run.
