Just imagine how fast a modern F1 car would lap Lime Rock Park. It boggles the mind to consider such a possibility. With more downforce than it weighs, would it crest the Uphill still touching the track? Would the Downhill be taken flat-out? A best-educated guess is that it would lap the traditional LRP circuit in about 35 seconds. Gulp! That means taking a turn about every 5 seconds and drastically shrinking the straightaways.
If Red Bull’s Driver Search offered YOU a seat in their latest F1 car to drive Lime Rock Park, would you take it? If they gave you three consecutive laps, which is about 21 consecutive corners, let you pit for a debrief and to digest the enormity of such a session; could you process it? What if your day was made up of 6-8 of these 3 lap sessions; could you deal with the overload and intensity?
CVR provides you with an even more intense driving opportunity.
Now for the amazing part. CVR provides you with an even more intense driving opportunity. You will actually negotiate turns FASTER than that F1 drive at Lime Rock! No need to wait for the call from Red Bull, simply sign up for the May 8th CVR AutoX! The special course will have 19 turns and will take about 50 seconds to traverse. That means you will be negotiating corners at a rate TWICE as fast as an F1 car would at Lime Rock. Really! Let that sink in for a moment. That’s the intensity level that best captures what it feels like to drive your car at an AutoX. Each turn at an AutoX requires the same skills that the Lime Rock Park turns do, but since they are in a big empty parking lot you can push the envelope harder to calibrate your senses. Instant AutoX-U instructor feedback and an unbiased clock will teach you Better Driving…Faster!
Better Driving…Faster!
The May 8th AutoX course was specifically designed to focus on Weight Transfer driving skills. In the AutoX-University lesson, Chief Instructor Ed Bogue will give you specific steps to refine and master these skills. You will leave knowing how to: dive deeper into corners, threshold brake, trail-brake, exit turns with maximum momentum, balance aggressiveness with patience; and how to tell when you pushed too hard or not hard enough. Weight Transfer relies on applying violent smoothness; on the brakes; the gas, and harmonized with steering inputs. This AutoX-U lesson, on this course, will help you feel the right balance of these Weight Transfer skills.
As a direct refinement from last season (when several of us CVR AutoX’ers drove Lime Rock Park Autocross Lapping Days and the Shoot-Out event), you’ll notice that the May 8th CVR AutoX course has dual-laps per run. The deceivingly simple-looking course packs in some extreme, flowing, and fast corners – perfect to explore Weight Transfer skills. Go to our CVR AutoX web page (https://cvrpca.com/autox/) and sign up before you miss the chance, it closes on Wednesday, May 5th. While there, please verify your new car class for 2021, download the course map, and get other helpful info to make your day more fun. Ok, Red Bull…we’re ready for that call!
