Club111 autocross
I had a blast today at the Club111/GGLC autocross in Marina (California). The course was a blast, and by the end of the day I was nailing most sections. The only area that gave me trouble was the very, very narrow box-like slalom section. There was no margin for error there, it was either nail it and get a good time, or get a bad time from either going too slow or hitting a cone. Very little in-between. The long sweeper around corner station 3 was great, it was plenty of time to get the car settled and finesse the balance using subtle throttle inputs. Lotus really did a fantastic job with this car, an average enthusiast like myself is able to get in it and make it glide through the corners, getting one of the best times of the day. Thanks, Lotus, for a job well done! (a few pictures from the day can be found here). EDIT: the results are final, and I managed to get the best Elise time of the day in my base-suspension Elise, beating several Elises equipped with the sport suspension and A048 tires!
