plenty of body roll. Not going to change the shocks at this point. Higher air temps worked better than lower. More camber would be nice in the front, which every autocross says lol.

Thanks for sharing the videos! I have a small question, are those some sort of automated cameras in a few spots along the course? How does that setup work? Is it just for gallery purposes after the event?

Those are timers. We have timer on the course and lap timers in the car.

The course is setupto hot lap. 2 sweepers and long slalom plus an offset. We get a baseline then start making changes the course is the same every time.

Thanks for the thread. I'm using the same wheel/tire setup for my otherwise stock 2018 FiST. First event 16 March.

I'm uploading videos now. The day was about 59 degrees and did rain a little. Put the 15 year old in the car and ran around the course a couple of times then I drove. We park and the child says, I don't want to do this, LOL! God help me.

I put the fisT up and go back to working on the 1M which on hooked up and screaming right out of the gate in the mist we run record times on brand new un heat cycled tires.

After lunch I go back and the boy is going to give it ago again. I get out of the car and put Jeremy in. Hey, most kids will take instruction from others than the parents....

they ride and drive and swap out several times and by the end of the day he is 0.6 off of Jeremy on a 27 second ish course.

random thoughts from the weekend

we ran 50psi to save the edges. Tires probably have 50 runs on them at this point.

Alignment is unknown LOL

Joshua moved from driving like a grandma to being on pace in about 10 runs. Honestly, I was surprised. The offsets in the course are hard on the practice course.

The car does good at speeds below 50mph. The slalom is short spaced.

The goal for the season is for the 15 year old to win the novice class here at the local level. I was pretty pumped as all the above is him driving. In 2 weeks we run our 1st local in the car.

Bmw is a beast. Wow I’m impressed that he was driving in vids. He looked really smooth.

Full disclaimer here we have 3 years of karting at a local level at DKC in Dallas but nothing beyond the local level.
