Instructors, please use Andy Hollis' 10 tips for novice autocrossers as your curriculum guide. Feel free to emphasize what you feel is important, but focus on looking ahead, finding the correct line, correcting oversteer/understeer situations as the main priorities. If in the afternoon your students have a good grasp of those basics then discuss with them what you like.


is there a link to Andy's top 10? Like for everyone to read from the same page....

Thanks, Mike. I resisted printing them this year since a lot of copies at last year's event were left crumpled onsite as trash. Sending the novices a link after the event via MSR would be helpful also.
