[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 10947826, member: 55701"] I disagree. Nearly every HPDE1 autocrosser I have ever instructed falls into the following stereotypes: 1. extremely overconfident. you can have 20 years of autocross experience, it makes you only marginally better than someone in the same boat with zero autocross experience. you would think experienced racers from ANY racing discipline would be more humble, more respectful, and more appreciative of the differences of learning a new discipline, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 2. extremely harsh, snappy inputs. I'd assume this has to do with an autocross smaller, tighter course. 3. shuffle-steering. again, I'd assume this has to do something with them being used to small, tight courses. The points you made about messing one corner apply equally to the open course, especially in wheel to wheel or time attack racing. Overspeed one corner, take an odd line, get a tire partially off, any small mistake will cost you a lot of lap time and take you quite a few corners to get back up to speed. I don't think either is harder - I've done some low speed oval with my car too and I think any form of racing (done correctly and safely) can contribute to becoming a better driver. [/QUOTE]
