#512

MBCA Greater Washington Section (GWS)
Autocross Event #6 on September 21, 2024
Summit Point Potomac Pad
The car felt much more planted at this event after a front/rear tire swap. You may catch a zero counter-steer braking drift in the one clip. Hopefully this handling balance carries over into next weekend - an SCCA points event.
