Interesting insight. I have heard it is better to have traction off, as the car behaves more predictably in a slide.
FWIW, I have done 3.5 years worth of autocrosses before (roughly 45 events), plus a couple car control clinics hosted by the local BMWCCA which included both wet and dry skidpads, as well as several years of winter driving/snow skid pads in my Z4. I have had a few spins and controlled slides in ax events as well as snow driving and believe I have a good sense and ability to recognize when the car is approaching the limit of grip. My driving style tends to be a little less aggressive than the top autocrossers in my region at the start, and ramp up aggression as appropriate.
Will try it both ways though this Saturday!  |
I missed the part about many autocross events you did. With all those skid pads n all I think you are all set
Enjoy your track day
