How much is UBCSCC AutoX? How many runs do you get typically?

作者: yoshi86 時間: 2009-5-4 20:26

$25 for membership (1yr)
$30 for each autoX
yesterday, there were 60 something cars, and each car only got 6 runs

You mention BMWCCBC from the other thread, which sounds better, $140 for 50 runs.

Hmm... then I think I'll stick with BMWCCBC. A bit more pricey, but spending the whole day there for 6 runs at $5/run, vs 40-50 runs at about $3/run, BMWCCBC sounds like a better deal.

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2009-5-5 12:49

You got 40-50 runs in a day??

How many cars were there?

Yeah. I think it's 30 cars limit. So assume 6~7 hours of solid run time, 3 cars on at a time, under a minute a lap. The course is big enough so that a Porsche can't catch a vintage Mini, and they man the gates and stuff and let you off after the previous car have went far enough. They take how fast you drive and the car you drive into account, so no sweat there. You don't need to do any cone work, no clean-up, nothing, all done for you by Drivings Unlimited staffs. The staffs also do sit-in's at your car to give you tips and pointers. Lunch provided. Events are non-timed tho (so that you can still be covered under ICBC for the day), you can time yourself/each other tho.

I have never been to any BMWCCBC, so I can't comment. If you know you are getting 40-50 1-mins run in a day, that's very good deal that definitely recommended. If it is just a guess, I think that number is on the very high side.

Price is similar to Velocity I and time you spent on driving is similar too. That's nothing you could compare to a normal AutoX day where you only get 5-6 runs (that a good day already, compare to only 3 runs in a competition event). A normal autox day is a not a practice event and you are there to win/lose. That's why whoever went to Velocity class will say that it worths the money for just the seat/practice time

Hmmm don't remember exactly. I think I got 42 laps last time. They even did a course change during lunch for us! First half was more corner, straight, corner, straight... After lunch became more of continuous bends where corner follows bends then corners, etc, very tricky.

作者: B2L2 時間: 2009-5-6 14:30

Sounds good for $140 to go with the BMWCCBC event, especially all you want is to learn and drive.

但係唔time既run 又點知你自己有冇進步呢﹖

autocross真係好難炒到部車有咩損傷，真係炒到咁大獲果個人都算奇人喇！所以有冇icbc coverage對我黎講，真係冇咩關係。就算去track day 都唔緊要，因為我都唔會搏老命去渣，冇獎攞既又，一路渣一路留意迫力同呔有冇開始過熱，o係迫力未真正overheat之前收番慢d 就唔會有事

Roughly speaking, you'd probably still have an idea about how you did in the last run. In a typical autox event, for example, I generally know whether I am doing better or worse in my current run compared to the runs before. Of course, the estimate would not be completely accurate, and the granularity of the estimate would be quite coarse. But for a newbie (myself included), whether you are timed or not shouldn't make too much of a difference in terms of whether you know you've improved.

Of course, it is a lot more fun to keep an eye on your lap time, and to have goals you can set and aim for.
