Autocross at Manfeild - 18th of June

[Munkvy]

http://manawatucarclub.org.nz/event/envirowaste-manfeild-4-5km-sealed-autocross/?instance_id=1037

 

4.5km autocross, which is about the longest autocross you will ever do... Basically drive round the whole Manfeild track, both front and back at once. With some chicanes to keep the speed down. Due to only doing 1 lap at a time you are much less likely to break your car too...

 

Do it! I will most likely be there in my E30 BMW (as WRX is in bits). Good cheap fun in a low key environment, with no requirement for a race license.

 

Do it!

It will be pocket change to enter this; compared to buying wheels and tyres ...

 

Al will show you which way to point the car.

Autocrosses are good - you only have to point the car to the front ?

[GC8E2DD]

Sometimes it helps to point sideways

Always gotta rip the hand brake, only way to get the rear to come around quickly easiest way to start heli's too

I've got a few videos on my phone of heli's and drifts, majority have my plates in them so I don't post them online, if you look on my Instagram there's a video of me doing heli's in my dad's mate's private car park

Yep hence why with this being an event not on a public road you could post it up.

So it was a bit of fun. But there was only 2 Subarus there, Al and Mark... There was also no need for the handbrake as it was way too fast and flowing for handbrake use. But whoever the guy is doing helis further up the page, if you want to do that legitimately, and are in Wellington there is an autocross on Sunday in Upper Hutt, $40 and you basically can race anything that is upto WOF standard and you have a helmet/overalls. Better than doing heli's and wearing out tyres for no purpose.

 

Plus then people know how fast you are.. (or aren't as often is the case at autocrosses).

I'm in Napier haha, not much of a proper auto scene here other than the Hawkes Bay Car Club.

Was hoping too but I'm bad at sticking to plans, and I can't save money for the life of me... $50 is $50
