Anyone going to be autocrossing this year?

Would love to see pics, videos, results for anyone who's autoxing their F56, standard or S, this year and see how the car performs

Its in GS since the last FastTrack, so its got to play with the Focus and Fiesta ST. It'll be interesting to see if it can make any headway against that competition.

i think it'll do quite nicely if someone campaigns a low optioned model. it's got a good amount of torque, and still quite light if low optioned (50lb gain over r56). dimensions are bigger, but compared to other cars overall, still small. it could do well given the chance i think
