Took the G8 for its first autocross last weekend. I'm looking to get more seat time, I seem to run a different car every time over the last couple years, and last weekend was my first time running RWD. I think I have the car's dynamics figured out a bit, just need to clean up the lines and look further ahead and I should be able to cut several seconds off my runs.

And, I need better tires. Currently the Falken FK452 are fine for the street but don't cut it for the cones. If my tax return is nice to me next year maybe I'll pick up a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Watch in HD!
