I went autocrossing today in my Sportwagen TDI! And I actually got (admittedly shitty) video of it! I used my GhettoPro (LG G3 clipped into a Garmin Nuvi windshield mount) to get it.
This was the morning parade lap
Here are the actual laps in order
The lap times were 68.818, 68.494, 69.679 (rider in the car), 65.115 (my best lap), and a 65.738.
Then came the afternoon laps!
Sadly, my phone then started to not work, so I only got two of the five laps recorded :(
Lap 3
and lap 5 (my fastest of the afternoon)
Times were 66.093, 67.701, 66.593, 65.101, and 64.410 (my fastest)
Overall, I had fun and placed right in the middle of the pack!

This is Buzzkill. We got a code black here. Repeat; code black. Subject appears to be trying to have fun in his TDI VW. Just give us the greenlight, and both he and the TDI will never be seen again. Buzzkill standing by.

Parade lap at an Autocross? That is interesting and I could see the usefulness of that. Havent seen that before though.

Me either. The ones around me have you walk the course, but I would imagine it’s better to do it faster than a walking pace.

Well yeah getting in a solid 3-4 course walks has been very essential to me doing well at Autocross. This seems like a cool idea to have in addition to that though. Or alternatively more runs would be nice lol. Like just have 20 practice runs first and then the next 10 count towards something. If only that were feasible haha.
