as the title says this is kinda of a silly dilemma with no real consequences
but here it is.

There is a PCA autocross on sunday. My PCA region does an autocross once a month and rewards points at each autocross to crown a Champion at the end of the season.

Points are rewarded as follows
1st place 9 points
2nd Place 6 points
3rd Place 4 points
4th place 3 points
5th place 2 points
6th place 1 point

We are two autocrosses in and my point total is ZERO LOL. In all fairness I have not attended either of the events this year. The current leader in my class has actually won both autocrosses so he is sitting on 18 points. There will be 11 more autocrosses this year, so his lead is not impossible to over come.

I want to win the over all championship and I believe my odds are very good as long as I attend all the rest of the events. My dilemma is that I have a GTR this weekend and I'm actually thinking of taking that car to the autocross just because I won't have the option to do so later on. The rules do no allow you to run two cars because when you are not driving you should be helping on the autocross course. If I take the GTR i would be competing in the open class and not scoring any points for the S4 class that is made up of 911's, 911s, Turbo's, GT3, and GT2 that are showroom stock.

I'm actually leaning toward taking the GTR because I would actually really like to post the best time overall for the event and I think the GTR gives me a better chance. Love it or hate it, the GTR is both faster than my car and much easier to drive at the limit.

So the question is do I take my 911S and go for points or do I take the GTR and go for over all glory.

I look forward to your answers

Cheers
Matthew

 

Yeah, no real dilemma here.

I found that the GT-R didn't turn as quick as I wanted it to for auto-x'ing (the nose weight became apparent, and I didn't spend enough time to learn to manage it for this style). I don't enjoy auto-x'ing as much as I do the track, so I may not be the best one to respond here. I've only auto-x'd the GT-R about 10 times.

I mean if you CAN, I'd do it, if nothing more than to get the experience of driving the car in an arena that it can do well in.

If it were me, I'd stick with my current car.

 

If its a 2012, I believe the front drive disengages under 10 mph to aid turn in.

If other years, then check to see if the 'R has 285 fronts and stiff setting on the rear sways? It helps a bit on turn-in.
