Autocross is a low-to-medium-speed competition against the clock that offers a fun, affordable, and safe way to hone your driving skills and explore your car’s performance capabilities. For newer performance drivers, PCA Potomac’s emphasis on in-car expert instruction will help you quickly learn the basics in a fun and encouraging environment. Each run on course teaches you more about your car’s acceleration, braking, and cornering characteristics and you’ll soon enjoy the challenge of cutting tenths of a second off your best time. More experienced drivers find that autocross is a great way to fine-tune their precision-handling abilities and race their cars at a modest cost and time commitment. For participants of Potomac’s High Performance Drivers’ Education program, autocross polishes their skills at swiftly learning new circuits and finding tenths or hundredths of a second in tight corners and quick transitions, which can add up to seconds on proper race tracks
