Autocross

Any thoughts on whether the G80 M3 will be any good at autocross? I assume it's too large to be competitive but fine for fun runs.

Check the video below out - they run it on an autocross-esque course and seems like a great time. Not much by way of comparison to F8X even though it's titled as such - much more useful information about how G8X drives. Start at 5:00, everything prior is pretty useless. 6:30 for the actual AutoX run & commentary

It’s just too heavy to be competitive in AutoX. The M Lap Timer, Launch Control and Traction control all work flawlessly. I spun out on first gear starting my first run. The organizer told the Camaro guy behind me to go easy on the throttle lol
