    Although I’ve driven on a few autocross courses, those have always been for events, or just messing around (and surprisingly, never in my own car). This time, I actually tried to drive for time, and to get better. I was still slow as shit, but I had a good time, and managed to shave a little time off of my incredibly slow pace.

    Short cut together video of my various runs.

    That looks like a lot of fun. Do you think you took it slower because it was your own car?

    No, I actually think it’s because it was “graded” so to speak, and if rather have been the guy that went less fast, then the guy that bit cones and blew past gates

    The other thing is, in a year or ownership, I don’t feel like I’ve really “drove ” the MINI prior to that. I didn’t feel in sync with it. id have been faster in my work out stock Miata.

    But I can change all that.

    Nice work Stig, I’ve never done anything like that. The closest thing would be casual go-karting I guess. Which reminds me, it’s been ages since I went go-karting. Was this for your birthday? Maybe I should go go-karting for my birthday. Since I don’t have a Mini or a Miata lying around.
