So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)

Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again.

So what has changed?

Some things I’ve found already:
Tires are drastically more expensive
Available “good” r compound options are even more limited
Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when
The “newer cars” have taken over ESP
Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s

CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation.


What else has changed in 10 years LOL

For basic data logging and review, look into cell phone setups. They’re honestly that good now. And you’re talking about a $20 app on hardware you already own.

Crashtestdummy is correct. Most systems take too long to pull the information and actually get anything useful. That within a given autocross day, you’d be hard pressed to digest anything for it. And it’s benefit increases greatly with a second driver to bounce off methods with. I use it for road course work and when you have tons of laps and get real time predictive lap time to tell some input for an output, that’s the height of its usefulness.

If you’re ready to take the big leap crashtestdummy, look at a Racelogic HD2. Switched to this system based on recommendations from a pro coach for a race team I manage. For drive comparisons, it’s fantastic. And it overlays the video and data as it records. Meaning I reach back, pull the SD card, and in 30 seconds I can pulling the video and dat up to review. It’s light years more user friendly than the Traqmate setup I have in my personal vehicle.
