Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2016 1:20 pmThe track map for this Sunday's autocross is now posted on the live results site:
http://ax.pcasdr.org/ (click on "Track Map" button)
For those who missed the past three AX's, or for those who may have struggled to find their way through the past three "hybrid-style" AX courses, we recommend studying the map early to prepare for the event.
The map includes a dotted gray line to clarify the "middle-of-the-road" path through the elements (of course, not a good driving line). However, on the day of the event, we will have a couple of enlarged printed maps taped to tables that include two different driving line strategy examples (blue and red lines). Those examples are meant to spur some thoughts, conversation, and experimentation to help you determine the best line for your car. We'll also have printed handouts of the map available that will reflect any last-minute changes to the course resulting from setup the day before.
We have planned locations for "directional cones" (sets of three cones laying down pointing you in the direction of the next track element) to reduce the chance for navigation errors. However, we left directional cones off of the posted version of the map to avoid too much cone-clutter on the map, and since those aren't cones that we want drivers to fixate on anyway.
Questions and feedback are welcome.
