Ask Racergrrl by Susan "Ocelot" Collicot Q: What is Autocross racing? A: It's racing! It's you and your car against the clock. Autocross, also called "SoloII" or "autoslalom", is one of the safest forms of autosports around. There is no car-to-car contact, there is no car-to-barrier contact. The basic idea of an autocross is: take a flat paved area; set out a course marked by traffic cones; and drive through it (while being timed) as quickly as you can, without knocking down any cones. Each cone you knock over is a 2 second penalty. You can find my full explanation of what Autocross on the Autocross FAQ page.
