Grass Racing Autocross(GRA) 2008 Round 4Posted by: ahkit in Events, General Events, MotosportsRound 4 is finally over. The event was held last weekend at Shah Alam. Some might ask GRA what? Here goes… What GRA ? What Autocross? Autocrosses are usually held on parking lots or similar large paved areas (such as airfields) with the temporary course marked by traffic cones. Typically, new courses are created for each event so drivers must learn a new course each time they compete. Prior to driving the course, a competitor will walk the course, taking mental notes, and develop a strategy that will be refined on each subsequent attempt at driving it. Speeds generally are slower in absolute terms when compared to other forms of motorsport, rarely exceeding highway speeds, but the activity level (in driver inputs per second) can actually be higher than even Formula One due to the large number elements packed into such small courses. In ProSolo, an SCCA-sanctioned variant of autocross, two cars run side-by side on mirror-image courses after starting at a “christmas tree” starting system similar to that used in drag racing. Autocrosses typically have many classes which allow almost any vehicle prepared to almost any prep level to have a realistic expectation of doing well, subject to driver skill and experience level. Autocross places more emphasis on the skill of the driver than on the attributes of the car being driven. Autocrossing is a good way to get started in sports car road racing, as witnessed by the many SCCA national racing champions who started their careers in autocrossing, as well as being a top-level sport in its own right. Autocross is most common in the United States, but other countries have similar motorsports. For example, Motorkhana is popular in Australia and New Zealand, and autotesting is common in the UK and Ireland. Both motorkhana and autotesting are slower than autocross (motorkhana rarely exceeds 40 mph (60 km/h)), require handbraking, and have sections that must be negotiated in reverse. Autocross is faster, sometimes exceeding 60 mph (100 km/h), and never requires the driver to enter reverse. Handbraking is not necessary on typical autocross courses. SCCA Rallycross resembles autocross, but is held on unpaved surfaces such as grass and dirt.” - Taken from GRA Website GRA WEBSITE Anyway I didnt plan to go to this event.
