It's only slightly different from RR.. same essentials are necessary:

look UP
be smooth
memorize the track

when you get there, after sign up, everyone will be out walking the track. just walk on over to the start line, and start walking. Imagine your driving your car, and try to imagine turn in, and apex points.

the main difference is sometimes when autoxing, you will not use all the track thats available because it will slow you down. setting up for the next apex quickly is key.

also VERY important to get fast times: FEWER steering inputs = Fastest way around course.

for example.. we had a section that was a slalom.. simply three cones in a row that you had to navigate around.. you could either enter right or left. so it would proceed: right, left, right, or left, right, left.. in this particular situation, the end of the slalom was a left turn. SO.. because of the left turn, optimal entrance into the slalom was LEFT.. because we would only turn the wheel twice instead of three times. once right, then once left.. if you enter right, you have to turn left, then right, then left agian.

remember, the person that goes fastest, had his steering wheel straight the most.
