I have had a few people ask me what autocrossing is, so I thought I would give a quick explanation. Autocrossing is a timed event in which a car travels thru a course lined with orange pylons. The cars are split up based upon their performance so the playing field is level. Fast reaction time, grippy tires, and smooth controls will always yield the fastest lap times. Each driver will have 4 attempts to go for the fastest time. Time penalties are awarded for hitting or moving cones, so control is key to doing well. Autocrossing is one of the safest forms of motorsports since it is held in a parking lot and only one car is on course. There is no wheel to wheel competition, just one driver, one car, and a clock. A typical course can have 15-30 turns and last around a minute. The tighter the course, the better the Fiesta will do, and the more open courses tend to favor the Mustang. You never know what the course will be like until you walk the course prior to driving on it.
