MK7 GTI (STH) Autocross - MBCA Washington Circuit - October 19, 2024, Fastest clean run. 53.57s
Fastest clean run today (53.57s). Per usual , I coned away a faster run. Nice to be back at Summit Washington which as more grip than every other local. Car felt happy even with Falken's that are starting to heat cycle out. No idea how I placed overall. FTD was around 49.4s.

Fastest run at the final WDCR Autocross of the season. Good enough to eek out first in STH for the event and lock up , barely, a second STH season win. I usually cut the video as soon as I cross the finish beam but I was in disbelief that I didn't hit the double cones at the finish and Its fun to watch my reaction.

Was humbled on Sunday at the WDCR SCCA Autocross #5. Finished 3rd in STH and struggled with a lack of front grip. It's possible I had the less grippy set of Falkens that I usually have on the rear, on the front instead, but regardless, It took 4 runs to adjust to the lack of grip and so I needed a clean run on my final run and messed it up. So here is my fastest run, 35.5s, where I clobbered a ...

Co-drove a friend's STH prepped WRX at the PCA Chesapeake Autocross at Prince George's Stadium. Had a blast! Thanks Caleb! Coned away a 0.1s faster run but here's my fastest clean a 47.5s run. Fun course with a very tricky Chicago box.

Thanks to Al for letting my codrive his beast of a GTI today on a very fast, fun course. More power meant managing second gear wheelspin was tricky. Lots of throttle modulation was needed. Managed a 48.334s run on run 7. Good enough for 8th Overall and I believe 4th fastest non Porsche. Probably about a half second faster than I would have been in my GTI.

Run 5 of 7 at today's MBCA autocross at the Potomac Pad at Summit Point. 42.35 Seconds. I coned away a slightly faster 41.9 second run. I ran the car in the morning session without a DSG or ECU tune to see if that might be related to my power issues and my limp mode issues (three in the last week and a half on the street). The smoother and lower power delivery actually makes the car a bit more ...

MK7 GTI (STH) Autocross - MBCA - Summit Point - Washington. June 15, 2024. Fastest Clean and Dirty
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Great course today. Good mix of fast and slow elements. Fastest clean run today (run 7) was 50.35s. My last run (run 8) was 49.85s, but I decided that a cone needed to be taught a lesson that run. Not sure as of right now where I ended up but there was some fast drivers out there today, so I'd guess around 15th fastest overall.

We are back in business with a new (well lightly used) replacement IS20 turbo. I thought the PCA Potomac course two weeks ago was twisty and complicated but todays course somehow managed to top that. A lot of people just struggled to stay on course. The car felt really well balanced at most times. Only 4 runs today and managed another top 10 Raw time with a 69.5XX second lap on my last run, mak...

The GTI is on hiatus from autocrossing until I replace the turbo. In the mean time I was able to autocross a friend's G Street prepped FC3 Civic Si at WDCR Event #2. This is run 4 out of 5. 44.9 Seconds. Good enough for first place in a strong field of 11 STH cars.

Run 4 of 5 at the Virginia Motor Sport Club autocross at Virginia Motorsports Park. Continuing to get more comfortable with the new setup. Fast course. Hit 69 mph. Fastest Run was a 45.3....but there was a late cone call. I have scoured the video and can't see it. My last run (46.6 clean) was too conservative and so I'm posting this run because...I can :)

Fifth, final, and fastest run (45.937) today at the first WDCR SCCA Autocross of 2024. Finished second in a large field of 9 STH drivers, by less than 4 tenths. Realized my tire gauge was off by 4 psi so I had been running lower tire pressure than I thought. Car responded well to higher pressure (what I though I had been running) and softer suspension settings than normal. 20th in PAX and 21st ...

Great job! That exit sure looked tight. Kudos on 1st in STH.
Eat your heart out Cub Cadet
Do you use a mulching blade or a bag attachment while mowing the grass.... 😉 Cold tires or too aggressive with the push off the pavement?
Cold tires and too aggressive. First run in the afternoon session and first run after Duston drove my car. It was STILL my fastest run to that point! The fastest line through that turn meant being right on the edge of the grass.
I think i nailed that cone too on my fastest run 😂
Mega drive, you were right at home in the WRX. Not sure how you kept that first sector clean, you were right on the edge of each cone. That was a very fun ride along. The Chicago box master. You need to codrive my car before she's gone for good.
Dang dude. I'm impressed by the driving but also impressed that car with 235s on oem wheels can lay down those times.
@rx8matt the car is impressive. No camber and stock ride height too.
47.5* 😉
Agree, guys had the most epic showdown this weekend, great run
Was a blast seeing you and Al trade times back and forth! Great run, Marc!
Good job!
it surprises me how much corner speed you can manage - not bad for a comfy hatch.
@rx8matt given that I was running without a tune, I needed to win in the corners. That 3 degrees of front camber does come in handy sometimes.
Smooth hands! Impressive that you came out on top of all of those heavy-hitting drivers in our class. I think STH brought the most entertainment for the day. That battle was intense. 😉
Nice clean run. Smooth as always. Looked like a nice course. Shoulda, woulda, coulda been there.
Love how you set up that last turn. Got your line without having to come back for the pinching cone/wall.
that drag racing style start looked like a lot of fun, how many runs did you get?
Total of 12 runs, 6 each side. Duston got into the Super Challenge (check out his video) and won it! He ended up doing somewhere around 30 runs! Courses tend to be short but you do get a lot of runs. I wont do anymore with my car with the crappy starts but I d like to try and codrive with someone else.
PS, that spot was rough on everybody. but a challenge is nice.
Yeah, that spot was frustratingly challenging.. I either broke too much or not enough. Duston took a much wider arc, which gave a straighter entry that I would have liked to try. But se la vie.
i got pictures of you drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lxdFBq_nhWOnRKBohgJE5Kq2FqmYtga9?usp=sharing
Excellent run Marc, very smooth!
what are the mods on it? seems extremely fast
Its almost completely stock with a rear sway bar and 200 treadwear tires. Only prepped to SCCA G Street specs.
Very interesting course. Was this tricky to read or hard to remember where to go?
This was a very controversial course. There were more DNFs than I've ever seen at an autocross. For me I'm pretty good at visualizing the course before I run so I never had problems and it helped that I worked before I ran.
did the new turbo fix the blow by issue you had?
Blowby issue was fixed by the mk8 pcv install
why is bro such a good driver lol was not expecting that
Dude can drive, his first time driving this car too!
Nice run! What suspension mods do you have for STH?
Thanks. Technical course but car felt really dialed in. I have Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, 034 camber plates and ball joints to get 3.5 degrees of front negative camber. 25mm rear sway bar. 255 35 18 Falken RT660s on 8.5 inch wheels with an 8mm spacer in the front.
the turn in on the si looks way better than the gti's ever did
The car has amazing turn in. Even without camber. Duston does have some toe out which helps it rotate. Plus the 300 pound lighter car is definitely more nimble. It was remarkably stable too
This guy was flying.
Nice run and cograts on the top 5. That course has quite a few elements I haven't gotten to experience before like that really fast never ending turn. Impressive seeing a FWD eat it up without a ton of torque steer. Man I wish I lived closer to Summit.
Thanks Meyer. Summit Washington has its ups and downs but its fun on the right day. Thankfully the LSD prevents torque steer but getting the power down can be a challenge of course.
But more seriously, wish that venue was closer, looks like a blast
After the three hour drive back I couldn't agree more. it's rough but after the charlotte tour, it's nice to get another 6 cone slalom.
69? Nice.
Nice work man! This event was my first ever experience with autocross and it was awesome! Loved seeing your car around. Apparently I misclassed my car and I should've been in STH with you. I actually just signed up for the next PCA Potomac event and saw you're also from Centreville! I'll come say hi if I see you around at that event. :)
Great look forward to meeting you. We STH guys are competitive but we also like to have a good time...so welcome. I attend a boatload of events so I'll see you around.
Great driving and congrats on 2nd. I had so much fun on the ride along. You and the car handles rotation really well. I'm taking notes.
Thanks Meyer. It's definitely not your typical "pushy" FWD. I've actually had too much rotation recently but I'm learning to accelerate through it rather than back off. Softening up the rear suspension has helped that too. Wish you had had dry runs to test your new setup. See you in a few weeks.
Despite the differences in our cars, we had extremely similar lines. We're either both doing it right or doing it wrong!
Let's go with we were both doing it right 😜 But you were doing it right...er! Congrats on second in PAX!
it looks way dryer than when I was driving😂
Looking smooth, Marc! That was a nice flowing course.
Man, that looks like a fun course. Too bad I was coaching at PCA!
Nice driving Marc - very smooth. I was in the ugly blue BRZ. your line on the left handed fast turn around 59 seconds in was spot on (I was flubbing that all day). Good stuff dude
Yeah working that area during the am session helped me see how the fast guys were taking that...letting tha car swing out wide in a constant arc. Also makes it easier to brake for the hard right before the finish
Glad the extra camber is working well for you.
Nice RUN 3! You seemed to be planning ahead the whole time!! Nice, loose hands in the tight stuff too! I see you listening to what the 660s were telling you, first thoughts of new setup in the dry?
49 flat?! that has to be fastest FWD, and maybe fastest car that will seat 4 adults?
Al and I were pretty much a dead heat at 49.6/49.7 clean....but he had 17 runs in the AM.😁
smooooth operator
Nice driving Marc! The scrubbing after the tight left put you a little too early on the next key cone (right side), 0:36 - 0:41 so you had to lift and hold for a bit, before getting back on it for the down the hill. That's a tenth or two there. Do you review the videos between runs?
Thanks Bill. Definately noticed that on that run. Can't review between runs on the ittty bitty fake gopro screen. I was testing racechrono for this event and I love the data it c ollects but I need a better gps for accuracy. In the off season that will be my focus. No car upgrades. I need to upgrade the driver.
nice job getting it done on the final run... i peaked on run 5 and then lost a couple tenths from there. your car definitely appears to have more grip than before with the bridgestones.
Looked like a long, well-flowing course. Kinda kicking myself for sitting this one out. How many runs did you get?
6 runs plus 3 untimed fun runs at the end of the day where I was playing with tire pressures
@@GTI_Autocross dang, sounds like a good day! What pressures have you settled at?
@@rx8matt the RE71RS seem to like more pressure. They liked 35psi up front 37 in the rear. That's 5 psi more than I ran the kumhos.
Correction...3psi more than the kumhos
Nice!
Just a bit wet out there. How did you like the Bridgestone Potenza re-71rs in these conditions?
I wasn't on them. Was running my street tires. Kumho PS31s
That may have been a good call.@@GTI_Autocross
Man it looks even more rainy than I remember. Textbook example of "smooth" rain driving.
Turning the Autocross into a Rallycross! 😂
Very smooth and precise as usual. Great driving 👍
do you know whats causing the car to go into limp mode?
I thought it was low oil level due to massive blow-by ending up in the catch can. I filled the catch can after 4 runs! I'm hoping that's still what it is and I just need to make sure that oil gets back to the crankcase. Another possibility I've been reading about is low coolant level and during hard cornering the coolant in the reservoir is not hitting the sensor. So i'm gonna run a bit higher on coolant. Next time Ill have brand new RE71Rs so its going to create a lot more cornering Gs and possibly make it even worse???? ugh.
@@GTI_Autocross if the coolant issue isn't the problem maybe getting a catch can that replaces the pcv system would fix your problem?
very nicely executed. the tires were talking almost the whole time.
Screaming for mercy is more like it
Nice run! I agree it looks like fresh rubber would help the stopwatch
