AutoX

Welcome to the 2024 AutoX Season
With strong support from Hoffman Porsche, CVR has built one of the very best AutoX (autocross) Programs in all of PCA. Join the fun and go home a better driver.

New to AutoX?
AutoX is a very exciting form of motorsport held at typical street and highway speeds. It emphasizes precise car control in a low-cost, friendly and safe competition. Learn and rapidly refine advanced driving skills and techniques in the non-threatening and safe environment of a course marked by traffic cones in a large parking lot. You are encouraged and coached by advanced driving instructors about the basics and the fine points of driving to the edge of your and your car’s limits. Enjoy your car’s handling like nowhere else and discover the fun and camaraderie of CVR AutoX. CVR recommends that you drive AutoX before your first Drivers Education event since the skills are directly transferable.

See what it’s like to drive an AutoX flat out! Watch some archived virtual CVR Autocross Videos. They “feel” like driving the actual courses. They start off with slow speed drives to show you the course, progress to faster runs that point out how you should be looking ahead, then take you on a thrilling run by our expert Chief Instructor, posting times that are typically what the real fastest cars achieve.

Limited loaner helmets for Novice class drivers (up to your first three events) will be exclusively reserved for free on a first-come basis by emailing Paul Kudra autocross@cvrpca.org. Free head socks will also be provided. This may be helpful if you want to try a helmet size before you order your own Snell 2020 SA rated helmet online. ”SA” stands for Special Application which is for car motorsports. Snell 2015 and Snell 2010 ratings are still acceptable for AutoX (use of 2010 helmets will expire in 2025).

2024 CVR Championship AutoX Series:
Championship points from your best 3 finishes will be counted towards the 2023 championship. The Top-20 finishers also get to compete in the famed Hoffman Cup Run Off event. Drive all events for your best chance.

Car Classes Updates for 2024

Please check your car class before registering, It may have changed for 2024!

The 2-page Quick Classification Guide summarizes the significant changes in the 2024 Parade Competition Rules (PCR’s) that CVR AutoX uses. The changes split 1997 and later Water-Cooled cars from earlier cars, and each now has their own “allowances”.

CVR will use the new Medium sized PCA AutoX event Car Class grouping, and with new model Porsches added, some cars classes have changed class, so please check before registering this year.

Rules
Please be familiar with the CVR AutoX Rules to do your part in keeping events safe, fair, and running smoothly.  In other words keeping them fun!

Registration:
Before you register, please read the UPDATED 2-page Quick Classification Guide for 2024. This summarizes CVR AutoX classes and the significant changes found in the 2024 Parade Competition Rules (PCR’s) that CVR AutoX uses. For example, 1997 and later Water-Cooled cars rules now have their own rules and “allowances”, separate from earlier cars, and tire rules have been better aligned with class philosophies and market availability. Quick Classification Guide

Once you know your car class, then please find what consolidated class grouping it runs in at CVR AutoX events, which is found in the Medium sized PCA AutoX event Car Class groupings, highlighted in yellow on the CVR AutoX Class Table. 2024 groupings are virtually identical to 2023. other than the addition of the four new Porsche models being added.

AutoX-U
AutoX-University classes are held at each event to promote “Better Driving Faster!” for all levels of experience. A unique course is designed to complement the driving skill featured that day. The course maps (and sometimes virtual drive videos) are posted on this page about a week before each event to help you learn each new course and make it easier to concentrate on the AutoX-U driving skills featured for that event.

2024 Course Maps are published approximately one week before each event
Courses are designed to be safe, to feel FAST, and to be FUN! Imagine driving a twisty back road at highway speeds but in a safe parking lot. Many features are used to make the course easy to follow, including two colors of cones, directional arrows, other signs, and visual landmarks.
