That is an ART. Its POETRY. Its BALLET using a car. And it no doubt about it, it hones ones driving skills.

Isn't that the purpose of AX...to improve ones driving skills or is it a race? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

With our nimble little cars, why don't we have that format here in the USA? I saw the recent clip of the Mini doing a simlar thing...revolving around a fixed pylon etc. Could a 914 do that?

I really like that and would think about trying it with my 914 if given the opportunity.

Others can do what they want with their cars, and I won't criticize, but this is my viewpoint. I did the AX at the WCC04 and it was fun, but frankly I don't think I would do it again. It was nothing more than a controlled slide fest (street tires). It was all about how fast one could go and not smash cones. Better than Nascar, sure MUCH better, and it does have some value in honing driving skills, but I think it just simply beats the cars to pieces and abuses them, which I am not in favor of. I appreciate these cars and want to see them enjoyed into perpetuity and not purposefully destroyed. Anyone else feel this way?
