As what has been the most difficult year of my life comes to a close, I want to get back into autocrossing, (something I've done since 1975), next year. My car will need some love, but the first thing that needs help is me. Some of my friends go to a local indoor kart track once a week. I've been a couple of times, and have improved my times, but will that translate into usable autocross skills? My friends compete in open wheel cars, so I can see how this helps them, but a Camaro takes a different line than an A/M car. Your thoughts, please.

It helped me! But I have a really good track near me. All outdoor, so it’s like being on a real race track. Indoor, not so much. But it’s karting, the worst that can happen is you’re going to have a blast!
What has really helped me, and what continues to help is iRacing. And now that I have a VR headset (Oculus Rift), it truely feels like I’m in the car. |
