Auto-Xing my 1970 BMW 2002

oldskoolbmw · 05-05-2011, 12:16 AM

Quick video I threw together from the May 1st Points event with the Northern Ohio Racing Association in Aurora, OH.

Trying to keep up with cars 40 years newer than mine can be a bit of a challenge, but sure is a lot of fun....I will get my 135 out there before the season is over, but for now, I'm much more comfortable behind the wheel of my 41 year old Bimmer. I'm relatively new to Autocross, so I'm sure you can find some errors with my lines, but still wanted to post what one of these old cars is capable of. I had better times than several Mustangs, Corvettes, and Miatas.

Great stuff man

Now I'm thinking about the decent bodied E30 325 4 door that's been sitting outside my friends shop for as long as I can remember

And an S52...

Very cool video, and an awesome car. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing!

May I suggest a 9-3 hand position on the wheel instead of 11-1?

(only half joking - you would have more control with 9-3, less time with one hand off the wheel as you cross).
