An extremely slow and pavement-scraping gymkhana run by a poor Prelude that's crying on the inside.

I can't believe that was sanctioned by anybody, whether a drift event or autocross. That lot is not big enough.

And yes, that was an epic fail.

Hey it even had curbs. What was the red flag for ? Guy threw it then threw it in the bucket.

Was he even following a course, or just randomly driving around the lot, occasionally circling a cone?

I really don't think he was on course at all.

He should have just grabbed the first spot he saw instead of trying to park closer to the entrance.

Looks more like a Gymkhana than an auto-x. The 'funkhana' that's held at Watkins Glen during the Vintage Festival is sometimes set-up on an even smaller lot, although with more interesting design. Last year, the lot was insanely small... so they had drivers run it in reverse.

Hey, we all gotta start somewhere, right?

Then of course there are some that should immediately be stopped

Seeing it done right is pretty impressive.

How the berkeley do you remember to do all of that?!?! Holy crap, I couldn't even follow what he was doing watching it, let alone trying to replicate it!

You'll need to log in to post.
