I've connected with my local AutoX club and spectated a practice/just for fun event this weekend. So far it is a really friendly and welcoming group of people. User Mr.Bob on this forum used to race with them but I don't think he does anymore, everyone I talked to was excited to see a FIAT.
The space they use most often is a closed road course used for police training, it has a couple different types of pavement to keep you on your toes and a tiny bit of elevation. It looked like a total blast.
So... what advice would you give a total newb going into AutoX for the first time with an Abarth? Here's the list in my head:
1.) Focus on the nut behind the wheel
2.) Learn good habits, speed will follow
3.) Maybe invest in better tires
4.) Get on the course, practice, practice, practice
Not sure what class I'll be in once out of Novice, I believe piggyback + chassis bracing kicks me out of stock. That's a long ways away regardless.
