2012 Mini Cooper Countryman S All4 Autox
 
Well, despite reading about how Countrymans aren't allowed at autox, I decided I'd try asking a local group (GGLC, Golden Gate Lotus Club) if I could try it out. They said ok, but I'd have to stop if the car looked like it was going to roll.

I never even lifted a wheel (imagine that in a Countryman lol), but I also did my runs with DTC on.

Car has a JB+, but that's about it. I was running on crap run flats (I hate these so much...) With a decent set of tires, it would've been much more fun.

Let me know if you have any questions! Hopefully more Countryman owners go autox!

I have in car footage also, but don't know how to overlay that in.

dragon have you had any more luck with AX? I just started to considering picking up AX as a new hobby and was wondering if I can use my R60. Is it true they won’t let us run?! I have an RPM stage 2 so I was thinking adding the rear sway bar and a sprint booster to compensate for turning and turbo lag just to get me started before I start spending money. Learn how to drive the thing before I consider becoming competitive!

I haven't had time to go to more events! Most organizations are worried about rollovers. After watching me do my first run, the organization I ran with said I'm good to go.

Now, keep in mind, I'm on all seasons. There's a chance of rolling on stickier tires (higher limits).
