Pedal control! You're hammering it heading out of the corners, apply the throttle smoothly. Go heavy on the brakes, that's what they're there for. Squeeze hard 'til just before lock-up, don't just coast to a stop. And the cameraman does a wonderful job of filming... the starter? Woulda been nice to watch the car the whole while. All nitpicking/advice aside, looks like a fun little course, and it's always great to see another cone-chasing RX-7 .

From the sound it seemed like you were below 1500 a few times....

Regardless, it looks like a lot of fun, and its amazing how much you improve your first few events

Keep practicing and as someone already stated, be smooth with the throttle. The point is to put as much power to the ground without breaking traction.

+1 for another autox FC!
