Default Do you race your Ford Fiesta?
I know there is a few autocross/rallycross/rally/track people on here. Just making a general post to see who we are. Lets see your cars.

I myself have not done any racing events with my Fiesta, however I've done all the above with previous cars except for Rally stages and hill climbs. This year will be my first time running in rally stages, hopefully!

Autocross is always a great way to learn both your own, as well as the vehicle's limits in a safe and fun environment.

I autocross my Fiesta. however [SCCA Solo] autocross is not "racing"...
(:
Quote:
What is Solo (Autocross)?
Solo is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo events are driving
skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling
characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by
traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip.
Performance Driving Experience (PDX) events are not "racing" either...
Quote:
PDX provides an instructional environment for drivers who simply want to improve their driving skills and increase their enjoyment of driving their street vehicle. PDX events are non-competitive and are based on the instruction and practice of performance driving and car handling.

No. I think that an automatic transmission it's not suitable for racing.

automatics are good for bracket racing at the drag strip where consistency counts more than power. you can win at bracket racing by running the same e.t. over and over without breaking out.
