2013 Track / Autocross Thread

Are you still running the RS3's? I've heard really good things about the Rivals recently

Yea, still on my RS3s. Flipped them beginning of this year and now have 2 seasons on them.

Rivals look promising, but don't know how they do on higher HP cars. Next year I'm going to sell off a set of wheels and run my autocross/ track tires all the time. The rivals don't look like good wet weather tires, which does really concern me

this was back on 8/10. Took 2/4 in class and something like 80th overall (I was faster than 5 cars total)

Last event of the season tomorrow and the forecast is for rain. This will be my first wet event. Should I be doing anything different with tire pressures for the wet? Ross Bentley says lower them slightly, unless its really wet in which case go higher to create a crown which resists hydroplaning.

If you have double adjustable dampers, reduce bump settings and possibly also reduce rebound. If you're willing to adjust swaybars, make them slighty softer (or so I hear, as I just got adjustable swaybars and haven't had a wet track day or AutoX for 6 or 8 months). Be smoother with the steering and throttle inputs.

I've always raised pressures if it was wet.
Helps make a bigger footprint so to speak, for tires to help channel water and get more tread on the ground.

If you have anything adjustable, soften it up

Thanks guys. Stock suspension, so other than the tire pressures, nothings adjustable.

Fastest run today:

Very fast course. Hit the limiter in 2nd gear, which is 69 mph. You can hear where I hit it

Nice! Love how you hear the announcer talk about it as your quickest run.

Lol thanks. I actually had a 50.848 on my 3rd heat which is 0.005 seconds slower than the video above, my 5th heat.

So I don't know if the announcer was looking at my previous runs, but it wasn't much faster
