Great article... Slow = Fast....

Found this great article, From Randy Pobst... (Pro Factory Audi Driver)
My Epiphany, the moment I understood true speed. (courtesy of the guys at EPhatch...)


Nice to see Pro race drivers Praise autocross, and it talks about something you hear alot in regards to circut racing, but is seldom understood (Especially for new drivers)... Slow = Fast.


Pro Solo BTW is Heads up Autocross racing... 2 Identical Mirrord tracks, 2 cars, 1 Drag launch... you get 1 run on each side, your times on each side are added together to equal your total time. who ever has the lowest total time wins.

Oh ya... Solo = Autocross.

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "
