After nearly 25 years of autocrossing, I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge through experience, observation, and learning from others in the community. Autocross is a sport that keeps you on your toes, no matter how long you've been competing, and there’s always something new to learn.
That’s why I’m excited to share the Autocrosser’s Handbook—a resource designed for everyone, whether you’re a first-time racer or a seasoned pro looking to sharpen your skills. This guide is the culmination of years spent in parking lots, paddocks, and grid lines, and it’s my way of giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.
What’s Inside the Handbook?
The Autocrosser’s Handbook is a growing, evolving guide covering all aspects of the sport. While it’s still a work in progress, here are just a few of the topics I’ve started to include:
- Getting Started: What to expect at your first event and how to prepare.
- Car Preparation: Essential maintenance and upgrades to get the most out of your runs.
- Driving Techniques: From basics to advanced tips for attacking the course.
- Event Etiquette: Navigating the grid, working corners, and understanding the flow.
- Beyond the Basics: Strategies for improving consistency and breaking through plateaus.
As I continue to develop this handbook, I’m regularly adding new sections and refining existing ones based on feedback from fellow autocrossers and my own experiences.
A Community Resource: Your Feedback Matters
The handbook isn’t just a one-way street—it’s a living document that thrives on community input. I believe the best way to make it truly valuable is to include insights from racers of all experience levels. If you have ideas, suggestions, or topics you'd like to see covered, I’d love to hear from you!
Your feedback will help shape this guide into a resource that benefits the entire autocross community.
