AUTOCROSS – Rules & Information
The Autocross course will be open for unlimited runs. Later in the day, we will run a dial-in Autocross or Consistency Run format. A baseline time is established, either by a predetermined run or by a driver’s own initial lap. Competitors then try to match or get as close as possible to that time in subsequent runs.
The goal is precision, not speed—penalties may apply for going too fast or too slow compared to the baseline. The winner will be the person who wins the bracket just like a dial-in drag race. It will be two cars running in the bracket; the one that is closest to their time without breaking out will move on to the next round.
