Well...I took my 8 autocrossing last sunday. It was my 1st time in autocrossing in the RX8. The 8 took everything I threw at it like a champ. I don't have much experience autocrossing so I can't say for sure what it needs. What I do know is I need a lot of practice, and all season Sumitomo's, while they break away nice and smooth, just don't grip at all.



Next event is June 12. I will have an in car camera....hope to have video.
