Just one item to add to RR - the simulator and how it helps to learn a new track and practice.

Great content

[@marlo916]

Maybe 10 minutes of seat time the whole day at autox vs 80-100 minutes on a track day. Autox just doesnt seem worth it to me

[@MexicanPoro]

Well an autocross even can be like $20-$50, whereas a track day is several hundred.

[@austinhamilton9537]

There's a time factor involved here as well. Everybody has a different personal value for what their time is worth, and a full day (minimum) is typically committed in both cases of AutoX and HPDE. From my experience, the older you get and more responsibilities you take on, the harder it is to justify a full day's worth of time to 20 minutes of driving, regardless of the entry cost.@@MexicanPoro

Thank you for your input

Quality vs quantity.

[@austinhamilton9537]

Yep. The small sample sizing of opinions here showcase the vast difference in opinion on the two forms of Motorsport. This is why they both exist!
