Default Low Speed AutoX Video

I would not have thought a course this confined could be very
entertaining.

Apologies for the dupeage. I came across the footage while
TubeSurfing for something else.

I am glad others think the driver's accomplishment is noteworthy.
The inadequacy here was strong.

I remember participating in an event with a course like that in the
l-70's. I was a first-timer in a '76 f-body and didn't have a chance
against the smaller vehicles and experienced drivers. But they
were NOT running their course like THIS.

I beleive that is what is called a gymkana. They are similar to an autocross but as you can see are more technical. I guess this is becoming more and more popular.

I concur. I ran some Gymkanas in the 1960s in my 356 Porsche, which was well suited to that type of course.
